Hematite ps. After Magnetite

Item Description

An amazingly sculptural, large 360-degree floater cluster of sparkly microcrystalline hematite pseudomorphs after sharp magnetite octahedrons. These caused quite a stir, when they first came out in 2002. This pristine piece has striking, ribbed, skeletal features on all four sides, a nifty cavern in the large blocky crystal and sharp, projecting, opposing pseudos. 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. A very choice large example from the Larry Conklin Collection and valued at $1500. This would have been much more, when they first came out.
