Item Description

A very aesthetic, "rabbit-ears", pair of ilvaite crystals from the famous mines at Dal'negorsk. The splendent, jet-black crystals have textbook chisel terminations. Complete all-around and in excellent shape, with only a small bruise on one termination edge and trivial side contacting noted. Classic and excellent Dal'negorsk ilvaite, certainly some of the best of the species, worldwide. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock from the early 1990s. Valued by Herb at $200, five or more years ago.
