This superb crystal is lustrous and razor sharp (and 1.7 cm long); as good a Magnetite as you can reasonably hope to find. The crystal is complete all around save for a contact on the backside, and is definitely of competition quality! Alpine magnetites of this quality are highly desirable, extremely rare, and valued very highly in Europe. For a thumbnail, it is particularly well-balanced aesthetically. Add in the associations and matrix, and you have a fantastic specimen here. 2.7 x 2.2 x 1.5 cm
