From a wonderful recent find, this specimen is COVERED with razor-sharp magnetite crystals to one centimeter on edge. The crystals show TOP gunmetal metallic luster, REALLY flashy. And unlike many of these specimens from prior finds in Bolivia, there are no areas of corroded or dinged crystals! The matrix shows here and there as well, isolating the crystals and adding to the attractiveness. 15.1 x 5.4 x 4.6 cm
