A classic “V”-shaped twin (twinned along the {100} face) of Ferberite from the famous Tasna mine in far southern Bolivia. This locality has produced what have to be the finest twinned Ferberite crystals extant. Ferberite as a species is not known in well-crystallized examples worldwide, and the twins from Tasna are a favorite among collectors. This twin is a good example of this material as it shows a fairly “open” twin, with aesthetic form. Along with the fairly sharp faces and matte luster, it’s a worthwhile representation of these classic specimens. The piece is contacted on the bottom, but still displays well as you can see from the photos.
Locality: Tasna Mine, Rosario section of Cerro Tasna, Atocha-Quechisla District, Nor Chichas Province, Potosi Department, Bolivia
