{"product_id":"native-silver-27","title":"NATIVE SILVER","description":"This fine example of 'leaf' Native Silver is from the Eisleben area in Mansfeld Basin, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Historically, this form of Native Silver was known to occur occasionally within the low-grade copper-bearing slates and shales in the copper mines. These mines were active during the early years of the 20th century and often employed child labour - something that during that time was commonplace around the world. Specimens of this form of silver from this region are rarely seen for sale and most date to pre-1920. The thin sheet of Native Silver in this specimen extends 8.5 x 4 cm from a small piece of dark shale matrix. The Native Silver has a lovely pinkish-gold tarnish, or patina. An orange printed number label (no. 1256) from a previous collector is attached to the specimen along with a handwritten descriptive label with the species and locality written in German.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46545292689583,"sku":"CC21181","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8516\/2671\/files\/CC21181.png?v=1770378575","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.com\/products\/native-silver-27","provider":"Crystal Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
