Another truly classic mineral specimen from the old-world location of the Isle of Seiphos, Greece. This single ilvaite crystal is a well formed twin crystal with a nice termination and a rich black color - remarkable for size and perfection! Contacted only on the bottom and lower back of the crystal, the rest of the crystal is completely clean and damage-free. Hard to find specimens of this quality and from this historic location on the market today. Early 1900's Hugh Ford label included with piece.
