Item Description
A 1.4 x 1.3 cm, splendent, black, tabular, columbite-Fe crystal is jauntily set on blocky, pearlescent, albite crystal matrix. A showy and excellent specimen of this uncommon combination material from a small find many years ago. One corner is gently bruised, but is certainly a modest detraction to this very displayable, two-sided specimen. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock, who valued this piece at $400, more than five years ago.
