This lovely crystallized Native Silver specimen is miniature in size but presents really well with its fine branching form, lovely dappled surface tarnish from silvery-pink to darker grey, and white Calcite backdrop. It comes from silver mines at Bouismas in the Bou Azer Mining District, Morocco. This is perhaps a less well known silver producing area, but has in the past couple of decades furnished cabinets with some really lovely specimens of Native Silver and Dyscrasite too.
