Item Description
The well-known Payun Volcano locality, just outside of Patagonia in southern Argentina, is famous for producing these remarkable pseudomorphs of Hematite after Magnetite. During the last 20 years or so, but sporadically, these unique specimens have trickled out of this area and continue to surprise us with the gorgeous forms and geometric shapes of these amazing pseudomorphs. The Hematite has replaced the stunning sculptural form of the original octahedral Magnetite crystals. The dazzling sparkly surface luster is captivating. It is complete-all-around with no point of attachment, so I'm calling it a complete "floater". Priced in the inventory at $500.
