A large and complex black wolframite crystal on a matrix of quartz and muscovite. The main crystal is large for the species with only a small portion of the lower part incomplete. Good V twin formation along left side. Bob Trimingham's detailed label notes that Richard Bideaux believed this specimen was part of 'a large and famous European Collection'. An antique mineral specimen that Bob paid $125 for some 16 years ago. Great provenance.
