Item Description
Striking and sculptural dense jackstraw cluster of splendent, striated, metallic, gray-black manganite prisms crowns this rich and showy 360-degree mass of solid manganite crystal sections from the historic Type Locality at Ilfeld, Germany. The crystals reach 1.0 cm. This historic old-timer is NOT just a "black rock" by any means and has several fine display views. Primary production was from 1880 to 1890 and this would date from that era, and shows the classic style we see in history books! See the 2010 Mineralogical Record article in Vol. 41, No. 6. Fine crystals, rich coverage and high luster make this an excellent and highly representative miniature from this classic locale. SUPERB example for size, with sharp crystals, from the famous find. Valued $1500-2500.
