Ilviate & Beta-style Quartz

Item Description

An extraordinary and very unusual combination piece from the early 1990s finds from the famous mines at Dal'negorsk. Four, sharp, ilvaite crystals, to 6.0 cm, with chisel terminations are strikingly coated by small "beta-style" quartz crystals. Larger scattered "beta-style" quartz crystals are a fine accent to this very well composed and aesthetic specimen. The broken base reveals, that the piece is nearly entirely ilvaite. The interior is pristine and the periphery wear on one side is certainly a modest detraction. This is a very fine 360-degree specimen of unusual and uncommon compostion and form with impressive visual appeal.
