Native Silver
Imiter Mine, Imiter District
Tinghir Province
Drâa-Tafilalet Region
Morocco

A relatively gorgeous chunk of milky white Calcite is the base matrix of a crown of Native Silver that wraps around the top of this meaningful rocky assemblage. Layers of the sharp and shiny, pink-gray precious metal are abundant on this specimen which has some secondary charcoal rock in as well as atop the Native Silver. This is a more exemplary example of the metallic association out of Morocco. Weighing a stout 420 grams in total, this rocky mass is highly aesthetic, quite sizable, and one collector specimen.
Measurements: 3.71 x 2.83 x 2.27 inches (9.42 x 7.20 x 5.77 cm), weighs 420 grams
