A large, lustrous crystal of ferberite, with flashing reflections off the faceted front faces, nicely terminated on top (the contacts are around the rightr side and bottom). The quantity of ferberites from China have jaded some collectors, but remember that this is an old Panasqueira specimen, and NOT Chinese! Ex. Hauck Collection. 5.5 x 5.1 x 2.4cm
