2.4 x 1.8 x 0.8 cm. A rich and aesthetic nest of beautifully burnished, curved and curled silver wires is dramatically perched on matrix that is rich in acanthite. The various thicknesses of the wires are striking. The large wire is 1.7 cm long. This excellent thumbnail is from the Hongda Mine of China.
