A hefty, handsized specimen of nearly solid manganite with accent of calcite for contrast, fesaturing super lustrous crystals to nearly 2 cm. This is a classic old Ilfeld specimen from its heyday in the late 1800s, and a beautiful and displayable specimen at an affordable price for such a classic, I feel.
