Item Description

An extremely SHARP octohedral crystal of this very rare species. This is the classic locality for the species, too. It is VERY uncommon to find them in this size range, and also so sharply formed - it is indeed complete and perfect all around. Comes with oldstyle glass vial it has been stored in for probably 100 years! I have sold comparable EASILY for $1000-1250, especially at Munich. This is gram for gram the best item in the batch, in terms of perfection and importance
