A tremendous Manganite from the classic Ilfeld area in Germany - the world's best location for the species. The Manganite forms an interlocking group of well formed terminated crystals to 4.5cm long by 1.5cm. The main crystals exhibit a flattened bladed habit rather than the rounded elongate habit more commonly seen at this location. The crystals have a bright metallic lustre and striations along the length. The Manganite comes with an old label, and displays to advantage. A fine example of Manganite from the Ilfeld.
