A huge, sharp and euhedral, reddish-brown betafite crystal with moderate luster from one of the most important classic localities for the species, the Silver Crater Mine of Bancroft, Ontario, Canada. A complete-all-around textbook crystal with only trivial edge-wear. The contact is on the bottom. This very fine old-time specimen was collected in the 1950s.
