Lustrouse Twinned Ferberite
Collection
Robert Lavinsky
Description
A supremely sharp, jet-black, metallic-lustered twinned crystal of Ferberite from perhaps the best locality for the species in its twinned habit. This crystal is 3-dimensional, sharp, and really quite breath-taking for a "black ugly." It was one of the finest pieces, certainly among the best few miniatures, in a small pocket recovered in about 2004-2005 and sold by the dealership of Bolivian mineral specialist, Brian Kosnar, to a good mutual customer. Since that time, no more of this quality have been found
Locality
Tasna Mine, Nor Chichas Province, Potosi Department, Bolivia
