Well balanced elongated small cabinet displaying two dozens of 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.

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