The majority of this specimen is composed of native Silver. The Silver has a rough texture and exhibits some crystallization. There is also a small amount of native Copper present. The green color is a combination of Copper alterations and likely Epidote.

Condition: Very Good

Flaws: There is no appreciable damage to the specimen. However, it should be mentioned, it is highly likely the specimen has been dipped in a matte, clear, non-yellowing lacquer to prevent tarnishing. This was a common practice employed by the past owner and likely has also intensified the green colors.
