Item Description

These amazingly sculptural pseudomorphs of hematite after magnetite caused quity a stir, when they first came out in 2002. This pristine piece has striking, ribbed, skeletal features on all four sides and the sharp "foot" is a nifty 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.
