Item Description

Sharp, splendent dark metallic-gray magnetite octahedrons, accented with colorful iridesence, cover the volcanic matrix plate n this very rich and showy small cabinet example from the early 2000s finds at this well-known locale. The octos reach 1.4 cm on this excellent, highy representative example of these magnetites, that closely resemble the classic Alpine-type pieces from Switzerland.
