Description

Well balanced elongated small cabinet displaying several centimetric jet black magnetite octahedrons. Crystals are very sharp and lustrous, most times diffult to photograph due to strong reflections. The main crystals show secondary octahedrons on their faces. The backside displays some minor octahedrons as well, isolated on feldspar, although this is not the main display face.

Very esthetic, with minimal peripheral bruises. From the famous find a few years ago.
