Description
An excellent crystal cluster of double terminated jet black lustrous Ilvaite. Crystals of Ilvaite measure to a good 6cm, and show only one area of attachment, apparent as two cleaved crystals on the underside of the specimen. Associated with minor Quartz and possibly Datolite as colourless micro-crystals, from the now classic Huanggang Deposit, China
