A superb, aesthetic and pristine cluster of ultra-sharp and scintillating hematite pseudomorphs after magnetite octahedrons from the well-known 2002 find in Argentina. Complete-all-around. 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. Ex. Gene Meieran Collection.
