Typically the Magnetite specimens from this locality are closely grown together, and this is a great example of said material. The piece has excellent quality, good size, razor sharp, lustrous, black, metallic, "Alpine-type" octahedra fully covering the underlying matrix. The largest Magnetite crystal measures 9 mm. on edge, which is good size for the locality. Keep in mind, that there are no other localities producing Magnetites of this quality today, and there are few localities in the world that have ever produced Magnetite like this.
