A very large plate of razor-sharp magnetite crystals, with shiny gunmetal gray luster, measuring to 0.8 cm on edge. They are usually wall-to-wall on these specimens, but this one features isolation of the crystals with matrix peeking through, so it is extra attractive. There are usually areas of corroded or broken crystals on these, but this specimen has very few missing crystals and no corrosion.
