This is a large plate of SUPERB magnetite crystals of UNUSUAL size - to 1.6 cm along the edge! - from Bolivia. This recent batch did not show the usual dings and corroded crystals, and the crystals are not only large, but have superb, almost metallic luster. very IMPRESSIVE, one of the very best of the specimens we saw, and we saw them early, before they were picked over. 12.5 x 9.3 x 4.2 cm
