Item Description
The superb, aesthetic, and simply amazing pseudomorphs of Hematite after Magnetite were an absolute sensation when they came out of Argentina in 2002. Metallic and and scintillating, this floater is highly representative of these clusters. The crystals are sharp, and the largest is 1.8 cm on edge. The stacked and interconnected octahedrons make for quite the sculptural specimen. These artistic pieces came from a volcano in a national park, where collecting is strictly prohibited. So it is safe to assume that most, if not all, production of these pieces has ceased. This is a gorgeous, sharp example for the size! From the extensive collection of Bob Reynolds, who cherished both minerals and fossils as he collected. Bob is a prolific author and has had several curating positions in museums.
