Item Description
Very fine set of three Magnetite crystals set in bright shiny Galena crystals, accented by brassy and well-crystallized Chalcopyrites. The Magnetites have a superb metallic lister and excellent crystal form, as do the Chalcopyrites. Only one Magnetite along the edge has suffered any damage - the rest of the specimen is virtually pristine. This includes the largest of the Magnetites, which is pritine and 1 cm across. An excellent and aesthetic combination piece from a very rare locality for crystallized specimens.
