This was one of the very few pieces from the recent find with this habit and "style" of crystallization. This is an eloquent piece featuring several sharp, lustrous, jet black blades of Ferberite aesthetically forming a beautiful specimen. The piece is not 100% perfect, and there are some broken crystals, but considering that the large majority of Ferbs from Tasna have serious damage problems, this one is in pretty good shape, and displays well from the front. Ex. Brian Kosnar.
