Fine double-terminated Ilvaite crystal, complete and undamaged but for some slight chipping. There is iron staining on part of the crystal which could be easily removed, but as is provides some color contrast. The old label indicates this specimen was photographed back in 1961, so it's at least 50 years old (out of the ground that is).
