Here is a high lustre and contrast specimen from Hongda mine displaying reactional silver wires that grew over massive black acanthite.
Silver is a precious metal that Man sought after and extracted since 5000 years. Silver has been used throughout History as a commodity money, until modern times and the generalisation of the Gold Standard and paper money; for the vast majority of historical times, being in control of silver mines to mint sovereign coins was an essential prerequisite for the existence of strong city-states, kingdoms or empires.
Still today, silver is considered a precious, quite scarce and valuable commodity: in the world of mineral collection, the rare crystallizations of native silver and gold hold a special place regarding the intrinsic value and peculiar relationship with mankind this metal has.
This specimen comes with a high quality acrylic base for display.
