Description

Detailed Description

This is a superb display specimen with two ilvaite crystals accompanied by small quartz crystals. The larger ilvaite is singly-terminated (with a natural recrystallization texture at the incomplete bottom end) and the smaller crystal is doubly–terminated. The crystals are sharp with good lustre. They are in excellent condition, a couple small chips and a contact on the back. Looks super, supported to stand as photographed. A beauty!
