Item Description
Sharp, equant, ilmenite crystals from the well-known Faraday Mine of Bancroft, Ontario are a sought-after species from this locale. This complete all-around, lustrous, dark metallic-gray crystal is nearly pristine and has only a trivial bit of termination edgewear. Classic older material from the Schlichter Collection. This famous locality and species are discussed in the 1982 Mineralogical Record Special Issue on Ontario. Valued at $150.
