Magnetite
The Swedish iron mines have been famous for centuries and were some of the first to provide perfectly formed octahedral crystals to early European collectors. Kiruna mine started much later, in 1898, but went on to become the world's largest underground iron mine. Despite this, mineral specimens, particuarly the ore, are just never seen. This well-crystallized miniature Magnetite specimen is, in that respect, a rarity.
