Ferberite from Tazna mine, Cerro Tazna, Potosí, Bolivia
A very nice group of black, shiny Ferberite crystals. All sides of what you see are faces of several crystals. There is one side which shows the detachment point. Tazna has produced many exceptional Ferberite crystals, but they are seldom seen on the market.
