This small miniature is richly invested with sinuous, twisted ropes and wires of Native Silver, bound together in a micro-granular sulphide or sulphosalt matrix from T?ebsko in the P?'bram District of the Czech Republic. The Native Silver has remained a reasonably bright silver, the contrast of which against the grey-black matrix makes it readily visible. The 1 to 2 mm thick Silver ropes bifurcate at their ends to form branching, Medusa-like tangles of splayed Native Silver wires. Tiny druses of smoky micro-Quartz crystals also occur on the specimen. A delightful and compact Native Silver from Pr'bram.
