This is a fascinating large miniature Native Silver. The Pöhla-Tellerhäuser mine Native Silver is quite unlike that from any other world occurrence. The Native Silver forms delicate feather-like, or fern-like fronds, which are usually etched out from massive Native Arsenic. Bright silvery-white, they standout magnificently against the dull black Native Arsenic. Under magnification the Silver branches and dendrites are mesmerizingly beautiful. This is a remarkable Native Silver from Saxony, full of character and charm.
