Typically the Magnetite specimens from this locality are closely grown together, and this is a great example of said material. These are also some of the finest quality crystals I've seen from this locality in a few years. The piece has excellent quality, good size, razor sharp, lustrous, black, metallic, "Alpine-type" octahedra covering the underlying matrix. The largest Magnetite crystal measures 1.2 cm across, which is good sized for this locality.
