Manganite
Ilfield
Harz Mountains, Germany
5 X 3.1 CM (miniature)
price: $400
A classic from the world's greatest source for crystalized Manganite. This piece is probably well over 150 years old and shows the most desirable crystal form, luster and style that has made the Ilfield Manganites famous. These are rarely available at this price level, I expect this will not last long. There is some damage at the edges (see the photos) and on some crystals but is not distracting, and it still displays well. If perfect this would easily command 1500.00 or more. A very attractive miniature and a great piece of mineral history!
