A very fine, sculptural, cabinet-sized plate festooned with splendent magnetite octahedrons to 1.3 cm from recent finds in Bolivia. Some of the octahedra are twinned and I particularly like the way the largest magnetite dominates the skyline and the entire specimen. Very aesthetic. There are even many magnetites on the back of the crust, as a bonus. Outstanding material from this locale.
