You may have seen these Argentine pseudomorphs before, but as you can see this one is really striking compared to the usual one. The reason is that instead of a rather complex form, this one is starkly simple and dramatic: a perfect octahedron (showing clearly the magnetite form) perched on an elongated prismatic crystal!
