Silver - Native wire form
San Martin Mine, Sombrerete Municipality
Zacatecas, Mexico
6 x 2.6 x 1.5 CM (miniature)
price: $320
A rather rare locale, a wire Silver from San Martin in Zacatecas, Mexico. Ex Larry White collection mid 1970's vintage, the wire is about 1-1.5 MM thick, and has a very nice patina. San Martin was a very rich Silver mine but most of the silver we see from there are sheets and masses, only a few wires are seen and usually not with this morphology. This is the only slender long wire I have seen like this from the region.
