One of the very few times we have encountered a faceted example of this material. Sperrylite is a Platinum mineral, so as you might imagine the ore is highly sought. Visually, the look is similar to Hematite but with a somewhat sharper and steelier color, the luster of course is superb. Great Canadian rarity and very difficult to obtain.
