Magnetite, Chalcopyrite and Galena

Item Description

A very good combination piece of Magnetite, Chalcopyrite, and Galena, all with superb metallic luster from this little known locality. While the Chalcopyrite is crudely crystallized and the sparkly cubic Galena was probably cleaved during mining, the Magnetites, particularly the main crystal on top, are excellent and highly complex pocket growth crystals. The main 7 mm Magnetite is a classic octahedron that has been substantially modified, creating beautiful beveled edges and triangular faces. This locality was little-known until Charlie's sulfide collection from Aggeneys surfaced. A fine, representative miniature.
