Item Description

A nice display specimen featuring a prismatic, jet-black, striated Ferberite crystal group with minor Muscovite. Panasqueira produced some of the most impressive and attractive Ferberite specimens extant, and pieces like this remind collectors that it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain good specimens from this now defunct locality. A good looking piece for a "black rock". Ex Paolo Matioli Collection.
