Ilvaite (Ref: 5321)
Rio Marina | Elba | Livorno Prov. | Tuscany | Italy
37mm x 17mm x 13mm
$267 *
This is a typical cluster of Ilvaite crystals from the (co-)type locality, the Italian Island of Elba. The black elongated crystals have a very beautiful sub-metallic luster, excellent striation along c-axis (on the prism faces) and pronounced trigonal terminations. This is truly a very beautiful and classic piece. The species is named for ´Ilva´, the old Latin name for the Island of Elba where co-type locality is located. However, the history of the naming of Ilvaite is more complex. If you are interested, read up on the naming history on mindat.org, keyword Ilvaite.Data last checked on 28th Jul 2024 - specimen may no longer be available
