The combination of Native Silver and Gypsum is really quite an unusual one, but works really well presentation-wise. This association with crystallized branching dendrites of Native Silver surrounded by platy Gypsum var. Selenite was known from Batopilas in Chihuahua, Mexico way back in the 1970s but specimens are rarely seen now. This great large miniature piece, showing this classic combination comes from the superb systematic worldwide collection assembled by brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021) and is in fine condition.
