A beautiful example of radiating ilvaite crystals, lightly coated by green hedenbergite. While the majority of ilvaites recovered from the location have been single crystals, these ball-shaped clusters were among the first to come from the mine, back in 2010-2011.
This one has more symmetry and better form than most.
