Large and very sharp modified octahedron of Magnetite intergrown with smaller Magnetites, white Calcite and Mica. The large 2.3 cm Magnetite has a stunning mirror-like luster and a well-defined habit. There is some contacting along the back and one edge, but it does not affect the presentation side of this excellent miniature. BETTER In PERSON!
