AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This specimen of native silver personifies the richness of the high-grade silver deposits of the Anti-Atlas, presenting itself with a massive habit but with intricate surface textures. The piece exhibits an elongated and sculptural morphology, where silver manifests in a dense matrix of acanthite and silver sulfides. Zones with a bright metallic luster contrast with areas of natural dark patina, adding visual depth that enhances the relief of the aggregates. The structure is solid and heavy, with a complexity of dendritic growths and roughnesses that are the undeniable signature of Imiter.
