Cluster of black deeply striated tabular Ferberite crystals with a cluster of thin tabular white Bertrandite to 8mm sticking off one side and minor Ankerite and Pyrite on the backside.
This specimen comes with a label from the Abe Rosenzweig Collection, a well known collector, dealer, and teacher and the Oberlin, Ohio address dates it between 1970 and 1977, so it's more vintage than antique.
