Description from the seller

A huge native silver specimen from the Imiter mine, Morocco, which is now definitely not producing any more after they caught one of the miners sneaking out with 100kg of silver after his shift ended, but anyways, to be brief, they made an example out of him. The piece itself consists of approximately 80 to 90% silver by weight, with some sections being encased in massive calcite. The silver appears as finely crystallized iridescent crystals that form a long and fairly thick ribbon of metal; still, you can definitely tell that it is a bit flexible just by the way vibrations move through the piece.
