A sculptural specimen with a sharp distinct main dodecahedral crystal perched on a Copper stalk. Esthetic and choice old piece that oddly looks like a goose from some angles. Ex. Warren Johannsen collection likely pre 1940 vintage.
An impressive, fully crystallized "tree" with elegant form and very sharp spinel twin branches. Very few examples are so well-formed, sharp and distinct. A relatively old piece (pre 1965's) from the classic White Pine Mine. The habit and form is unmistakable from this unique deposit. Excellent esthetics and top notch quality that is impossible to find on the market today. Far better in person!

A very large and rich Silver from the Wolverine Mine. This has almost 100 percent Silver but there is a tiny splotch of Copper on one edge. The Silver has a patina ranging from near black to iridescent to brighter silver tones. Some of the Silver at first glance looks copper-like. Some bits of matrix are included but this is nearly all metal. With low magnification some herringbone and crude crystals are seen as well. In outstanding condition this is a classic and heavy chunk of Michigan Silver!
