Pristine, single, doubly-terminated Ilvaite crystal from the famous mines of Dal'negorsk. The main termination is a sharp, striated chisel-point, while the other termination is more of a compound termination. The luster is so high that the crystal literally glistens. A very good, aesthetic miniature from this old find - circa 1980s. These are, for luster, the finest of their species.
