Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of columbite and microlite from Virginia!!! This specimen consists of a sharp, undamaged crystal of
columbite-(Fe) proudly perched atop a complex, almost tabular crystal of microlite!!! The columbite crystal has jet-black color with
sharp, lustrous faces and is complete all around!!! The microlite crystal has brownish color and slight translucence with a complex, compressed almost
tabular habit!!! This is old time material from the University of Delaware's mineral collection!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
