Large Quartz ps. After Ilvaite (RARE & LARGE!)

Item Description

Wow! An amazing, incredibly sculptural, possibly unique large pseudomorph from the famous mines at Dal'negorsk. This monster looks like a large coral head! Sparkly quartz microcrystals have pseudomorphed imposing dense radiating sprays of large ilvaite crystals. The pseudos reach about 13.0 cm long and are, in turn, preferentially coated with tan iron oxides or siderite. Incredibly, this surreal large specimen is essentially pristine. This large pseudo could be unique for Dal'negorsk. Undoubtably from the 1990s to early 2000s finds or was stashed in a Russian collection. 6.0 pounds or 2.7 kilos mass. Value of such a unique large piece?? Surely in $2000-4000 range. A must for the pseudomorph or locality colllector.
