Description from the seller

An evident, sculptural, leaf native kongsbergite specimen from 2016 finds at the Imiter Mine of Morocco.
It's standing on a black matrix for a strong contrast, with the typical luster of this material.
The leaf measurs 45 x 37 mm.
Kongsbergite is the mercurian variety of silver (max 5 % of mercury).
The sample is glued to the plastic bottom.
Very showy and important specimen for an important collection !
