Item Description
A superb and rare combination display specimen from the well-known Tazna Mine and very choice material from the Ed Bancroft Collection. An impressive, sharp, 4.4 x 3.2 x 1.5 cm, ferberite crystal is beautifully set upright on a plate of glassy, translucent, smoky quartz crystals. The highly lustrous ferferite is a well-striated, twinned crystal. The crack, that goes around the crystal is natural and is not repaired. This stunning and very rare combination piece is pristine.
