7ddceo ((ILVAITE)), Elba, Rio Marina, Italy, 4.5 x 2.5 x 1.5 cm, Miniature, | |
Cluster of terminated Ilvaite crystals from an unusual location. One crystal cluster is cracked as shown. It is not quite apart yet but is loose. I will probably try to stabilize with super glue. Elba is where the name Elbaite Tourmaline came from and is also known for excellent Hematite and Pyrite specimens. ex Ernie Schlichter collection. |
