Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic, old time example of manganite from the type locality, Ilfeld, Germany!!! These old time specimens came out during a short
period in the 1880's and have long since set the standard for the species - by several orders of magnitude!!! These Ilfeld manganites
are scarce and have always been highly sought after and prized by collectors!!! In addition to several smaller crystals,
this specimen hosts an incredible, pristine, brilliantly lustrous crystal of jet-black manganite to over 3.3cm!!! This specimen
is in magnificent condition and displays fantastically all around!!! Don't miss out on this valuable historic beauty!!!
The pics don't even come close to doing 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!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 29th!!!
