Item Description
We believe this sharp, highly lustrous, jet-black, 3.8 x 3.1 cm, dodecahedron is a dravite crystal, not an uvite. The nearly pristine crystal, with only trivial corner wear, is expertly set in the limestone matrix. Classic, old-time and excellent material from this famous locale from the Bob Trimingham Collection and obtained in a trade at the Avon Rockshop, Avon, New York in 1969, where it was priced at $3.
