FLAWLESS etched tabular WOLFRAMITE crystal with a CHLORITE overgrowth - Height: 5.9 cm - Width: 4.9 cm- 128 g - (1)

An absolutely flawless and unusual looking tabular ferberite floater with metallic wet luster on its etched faces, which appear as long, deep groves that terminate on the sides as short and very sharp spikes (trust me, I pocked myself handling it). Over it, the crystal has developed a decently thick layer of powdery green chlorite typical of this deposit that covers the back, sides and a few spots in the front, contrasting very interestingly with the ferberite. Like it was mentioned, the piece has no damage at all. Here is a link for the video showcasing this specimen: https://youtube.com/shorts/miGphVxi9fk?feature=share
