Item Description
An aesthetic and pristine stacked cluster of ultra-sharp and scintillating hematite pseudomorphs after magnetite octahedrons from the well-known 2002 find in Argentina. The superb, large octo at the top is 3.0 cm. One side of this piece has striking, skeletal or hoppered features. These artistic pieces came from a volcano in a national park, where collecting is strictly prohibited. Supposedly. Anyways, this is a superb piece and who knows when more will come now.
