Large Magnetite xls (RARE Nevada) Kay Robertson Coll.

Item Description

Mineral specimens of ANY species are EXTREMELY RARE from this old obscure extinct iron mine. Large, sharp, moderately lustrous brownish-gray crystals, to 2.3 cm, are aesthetically clustered on the magnetite matrix. The piece displays well from either side. Magnetic, as you would expect. Very rare, perhaps UNIQUE magnetite from the Kay Robertson Collection # 9070. Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record). A MUST for the Nevada or species collector!
