A STRIKING and SUPERB, extremely hoppered and elongated pseudomorph of hematite after octahedral magnetite from the well-known 2002 Argentina find. This unusual, complete all-around specimen is highly lustrous and pristine. These artistic pieces came from a volcano in a national park, where collecting is strictly prohibited. Supposedly. Anyways, this is a superb piece and who knows when more will come now.
