Locality: Kearsarge Mine, Kearsarge, Houghton County, Michigan, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: small cabinet, 9.0 x 7.9 x 2.5 cm
Silver
What more can you say?! This is a HEFTY, THICK, VERY IMPRESSIVE solid specimen of crystallized silver, a true piece of American history. The specimen is not so lumpy as most large Michigan silvers are, and it is actually quite elegant and arborescent in form. It is complete all around and equally presentable from either side. This is one of the better crystallized silvers, for robustness and overall aesthetics, that I have seen for sale recently for anything under six figures, and i think it will stand on its own merits as a major piece in any collection. I do NOT understand why these great Michigan silvers, which are more rare and more often crystallized than Kongsberg wires, find themselves underpriced in relation to Kongsberg and even Freiberg pieces?! It does not make sense to me when a good Michigan silver with aesthetics is so much more RARE than a Kongsberg - I mean, they are good, don't get me wrong, but there are simply MORE of them out there. Maybe people do not realize how few major Michigan silvers of this stature survived and made it to the market? Anyways, thats my opinion, that they are underpriced compared to other worldwide silvers, and I'll stick to it. Comes with custom lucite base already made.
