Native Silver & Native Copper
Michigan, USA

"A divergent cluster of silver crystals about 2 x 3 inches perched up on a base of native copper with minor basalt. ?"
- Rock H. Currier

If only one word could be applied to this lovely matrix specimen, a good candidate for that word would be: "Sweet!!" The combination of both: finely crystallized Native Silver and Native Copper is exquisite. Additionally, that the group is still on its original Basalt matrix makes it one of the finest obtainable. Seeing it, in person, is nothing less than amazing. This fine cabinet specimen sits dramatically on its custom acrylic base.
