Silver Crystals, Kongsberg, Norway

Kongsberg is famous for its incredible wire silver specimens but it also yielded impressive crystals of silver. We are offering a thumbnail of exquisite silver crystals displaying spinel-law twinning. Most appreciated under magnification but equally appealing with the naked eye. This is a "floater" specimen with no obvious contact points. Ex Paul Rasmussen (former owner of Princess Sodalite Mine, Ontario) and Ex Allan Ingelson collections. Likely mined over a century ago. From Kongsberg, Norway. Dimensions: 0.6 cm x 1 cm x 1.3 cm
