Ilvaite with Quartz
specimen number:
1821401
location:
Dal'negorsk, Primorskiy Kray, Russia
description:
Lustrous black double terminated ilvaite crystal 3.5 cm in length set nicely upon a crystallized hedenbergite matrix with glassy quartz crystals to 0.7 cm in size. The best I can tell, this one has not been repaired and is completely natural, quite unusual for these Russian ilvaite specimens. Sits beautifully on its own for display. A superb example for the species. Measures 7.0 x 5.0 x 5.0 cm overall.
Size: 7.0 x 5.0 x 5.0 cm (small-cabinet)
