Item Description
A truly classic and aesthetic ilvaite specimen from the old-world location of the Isle of Seiphos, Greece. This doubly terminated, floater crystal is very well formed, has super luster, rich black color and is remarkable for size and perfection! The crystal has the classic, chisel termination and the embedded quartz crystals are a real highlight. The ilvaite crystal is completely clean and damage-free and the broken tips on the quartz crystals certainly do not detract. Hard to find specimens of this quality and from this historic location on the market today. Ex Jaime Bird Collection.
