Description
This is a fine and old time small cabinet sized specimen of almost pure Acanthite from the classic Saxonian locale of Marienberg. The piece here features a bunch of vugs, partly lined with well developed and multifaced crystals of Acanthite and accented by small silvery and curly wires of native Silver. Definitely not a beauty but rich and interesting and an oldtimer in every case. The large mining district of Marienberg, close to the Czech border was active from the 12th century to 1958.
