Manganite
Ilfeld, Nordhausen, Harz Mts., Thuringia, Germany
Miniature, 4.2 x 2.2 x 1.9 cm
SOLD
These are classics, still the world's best of species for manganite crystals since they were found in the 1880s, unsurpassed for overall form and style since. This well-trimmed miniature features a lustrous, jet black, shiny crystal reaching up 3.3 cm and tapering to a wonderful termination. It is much, much more aesthetic than most, and makes for a fine display specimen as well as a choice rarity!
