Magnetite, Chalcopyrite, and Galena

Item Description

Classic combination piece from this little known, but quite good, locality. While the Chalcopyrite is crudely crystallized and the sharp cubic Galena was probably cleaved during mining, the modified Magnetite octahedral crystals on top are excellent. The largest, a 9 mm Magnetite, is an octahedron with the corners and faces modified by the dodecahedron. Naturally, all the minerals have superb metallic luster. A desirable, highly representative specimen from this mine. Good aesthetics.
