Magnetite and Chalcopyrite on Garnet

Item Description

Fine specimen of lustrous Magnetite crystals set in bright brassy Chalcopyrite, Galena, and Garnet - RARE material from a hard to get locale! The Magnetites have a very good metallic luster and excellent crystal form. The largest of the Magnetites is a 2 cm modified cuboctahedron. Some of the much smaller, lesser Magnetites have suffered wear, but the two largest crystals are in excellent condition, and they are clearly the main focus of the piece. Quite a good, aesthetic combination piece. Classic for this well-known locality. valued $500
