These have to be some of the most interesting and pretty pseudomorphs in the mineral kingdom - though much better in person than in the pics. What you have is a magnetite crystal that has been pseudomorphed by sparkly magnetite - with skeletal "wings" with pronounced ribs on either side of the central spine. This is a really sharp and aesthetic one, beautifully balanced!
