A large and very sharp, euhedral Magnetite crystal on Galena and Chalcopyrite ore matrix. The Magnetite is an amazing 2.8 cm across, and has very good luster and beautiful complex form. This is a significant magnetite specimen for the species, for its bizarre complex crystal habit. In fact, it is quite remarkable that a well-formed Magnetite this size is in as good a condition as it is. Ex. Charlie Key Collection.
