Item Description

A stouth, thick, sharp, well-formed, lustrous, jet black singular crystal of Ilvaite with a beautiful orthorhombic prismatic form and a textbook steep termination coated by sharp, lustrous gemmy Quartz crystals from Dal'negorsk, Russia. The piece is in good shape overall, but it does have a contact on the back / bottom. A nice small miniature of this now hard to find material from Russia.
