Description from the seller

This large piece is excellent: thick, brightly burnished wire and crystallized native silver masses rise dramatically from a contrasting snow-white calcite matrix, their sculptural form almost figure-like — arms raised. The pure silver-white metallic color of the fresh silver against the bright calcite makes for an immediate, high-contrast composition. Rich and impressive for the size.
Imiter is Africa’s premier silver mine and one of the world’s important sources of fine native silver specimens.
