Item Description
Sharp, tabular, equant ilmenite crystals from the well-known Faraday Mine of Bancroft, Ontario are a sought-after species from this locale and this is a very fine miniature example. This complete-all-around, moderately lustrous, dark metallic-gray crystal is pristine. The accenting "tail" includes amber calcite and chalcopyrite crystals. Classic older material from the Schlichter Collection. This famous locality and species are discussed in the 1982 Mineralogical Record Special Issue on Ontario.
