Description

A beautiful octahedron, excellent defined with a surface gloss, reminiscent of brushed steel. It is sharp edged as well, tombac-black in colour and undamaged. There is just the contact of the rock on the backside. Also the hole on the displayside is not a damage, it is a kind of disolution. This gives the specimen a hint of dramatic.
