Typically the Magnetite specimens from this locality are closely grown together, and this is a good example of said material. The piece has excellent quality, large, razor sharp, lustrous, black, "Alpine-type" octahedra on specimen. The largest Magnetite crystal measures 2.0 cm. across, which is nearly as large as they get from this locality. 15.0 x 6.0 x 5.7cm
