Magnetite

Item Description

Exceptionally sharp CUBIC crystals of Magnetite from a shortlived (1992-93) find in this zinc mine. These incredibly lustrous, sharp Magnetites shocked people when they first came out. This is a very aesthetic cluster, with 3-dimensional form and super luster. The largest crystal is just over one cm, and the crystals have some beveled edges. which add even more to the interest and aesthetics. These are not "black rocks", but rather minerals with such jet-black and LUSTROUS surface that its almost OK to call them colorful. An American classic now, and hard to obtain in this quality. Considered among the finest US magnetites! Originally priced at $450.
