Item Description
Peruvian Ferberites are some of the finest around, and the presentation side of this specimen shows why. On the front and top, this 4 cm doubly-terminated crystal has excellent striated, metallic luster and classic form. It is partially coated by gemmy Quartz crystals near one corner, and extending from the top is a doubly-terminated 3.4 cm Quartz crystal whose lower tip is also gemmy. The bottom and back have been preferentially etched. A very fine, attractive Ferberite. Complete all around, a floater!
