A cute, super lustrous, jet-black Ilvaite crystal from Dalnegorsk, Russia, the best locality for the species in the smaller size classes like this perfect thumbnail. It is lightly striated on the prism faces and has a perfect pyramidal termination. Old classic from the 1980s-1990s production here. This is special for the superb luster, way way way beyond the norm. Part of an educational set, with these additional items: Siderite (SYP25-20a) and Siderite ps. Ilvaite (SYP25-20b).
