Old Cryolite Piece
Collection
Robert Lavinsky
Description
A significant locality and species specimen of this very interesting, quite rare, crystallized aluminum species. The crystals here look like cityscape blocks, gem clear cubes rising from massive matrix. An old label, probably circa 1900 or earlier, is attached to the backside. Such specimens are few and far between today, in any quality. They were mined mostly around the turn of the 1900s.
