Item Description
An OLD-TIME wolframite specimen from the famous Camborne District of Cornwall, England. The piece consists of massive, partially euhedral, highly lustrous to moderate luster, parallel-growth wolframite blades. Certainly not pretty to look at, but this is large, very highly representative and seldom available material from this CLASSIC and famous district. Comes with an expertly handwritten, faded label from an older collection. The collection this came out of was a museum stash dating to prior to World War I.
