Hematite ps. After Magnetite (1990s finds)

Item Description

This striking pseudomorph of sparkly hematite after magnetite octahedrons is dramatically dominated by the very elongated pseudo at the top with fabulous ribbed skeletal features. These caused quity a stir, when they first came out in the late 1990s. This pristine piece has impressive, ribbed, skeletal features on all four sides of the large and the sharp octos at the base are a fine accent. These artistic pieces came from a volcano in a national park, where collecting is strictly prohibited. Supposedly. Once fairly common, you don't see many around anymore, except from recycled collections.
