Description
Here we have a superb and VERY AESTHETIC "Wire-Silver" from famous and old-time Himmelsfürst Mine of Brand-Erbisdorf near Freiberg. Silver wires from Germany, from the historic Saxon silver mines that financed everything from art and culture to wars, are a classic of mineral collecting. Technically, they are actually extended crystals, and not wires at all to be strict about it, but they sure look like ropes and wires. This is an elegant, tapering, curvaceous Wire Silver from the old collection of Dr. N. Pesl of Vienna, which he purchased in the late 1980s. This is a superb example in its size and aesthetics and should actually be offered in the shop.....................................
