Description

Well-balanced miniature displaying over a dozen jet black magnetite octahedrons laid on creamy feldspar. Crystals are very sharp and lustrous, most times diffult to photograph due to strong reflections. The main crystals show secondary octahedrons on their faces.

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