Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic example of native silver from Kongsberg!!! This specimen consists of a gracefully tangled wire of native silver!!! The
wire is thick and sturdy with handsome striations, metallic luster, and "antique" silver patina!!! Upon
close inspection one can see a small, unidentified crystal perched in a deep striation as well!!! This specimen is quite
handsome and three-dimensional in person!!! Upon close examination one can see that the end of the wire tapers to a tiny curl!!! This
specimen is from the lifelong personal collection of Frank & Wendy Melanson and retains their label with Beth Gordon Collection notation!!!
Classic material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY MAY 9th!!!
