Description
A superb, good-sized cabinet specimen of the sodium hexafluoroaluminate mineral Cryolite, from perhaps its most famous locality of the Ivigtut Cryolite Deposit at Ivittuut on Arsuk Fjord in Greenland. This large tabular-shaped specimen is composed almost entirely of Cryolite apart from two 1.5 to 3 cm inclusions of dark and mid-chocolate-brown Siderite on the back face. What sets this specimen apart from most Cryolite from this locality is that the almost the entire face is composed of glassy semi-transparent Cryolite crystals as stepped 0.5 cm cubes covering an area of 10 x 6 cm. A remarkable and excellent crystallised Cryolite from Ivigtut.

How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
