Native Silver Micro-Sprig on Calcite Matrix

Description

An impressive, high-contrast matrix specimen from the world-class Imiter Mine in the Anti-Atlas Mountains of Morocco.

At a substantial 0.67 grams, this piece features a textured, multi-faceted cluster of native silver micro-crystals perched dramatically atop a sharp ridge of pale, cleavable calcite matrix. Under magnification, the silver displays a knobby, complex crystalline habit with rich metallic luster and a light, natural patina.

The contrast between the dark, metallic silver and the translucent white calcite is the hallmark of fine Imiter material, making this a classic addition for collectors of world-famous native metal localities.
