Item Description
A very elegant and aesthetic 360-degree miniature cluster of classic ilvaite crystals from Dal'negork. The highly lustrous jet-black prisms have textbook sharp chisel terminations. Scattered pods of glassy drusy quartz are a super accessory and contrast. Complete all-around and essentially pristine. The sides of three prisms where contacted against other crystals, but there is little actual damage. Dal'negork, along with Seriphos Island in Greece and the Chinese Huanggang mines produced some of the world's finest ilvaites and this is an exceptional example. Valued at $750-1000.
