EB87D2: Ilvaite with Hedenbergite

Once in a while a particular specimen really grabs me.

MR90AH3: Ilvaite with Quartz

The year 2010 saw the ringing of the bell of the first great samples arriving from Huanggang, a mining area of which little had been spoken of until that moment. Among the novelties there were some Ilvaite samples with crystals of great size with very well defined faces and frequently with Quartz crystals. In a very short time these samples became classic, not only for China but also for the rest of the world.
