Item Description
A sharp, striated, pearlescent brown, magnetite octahedron from Amherst, New Hampshire and the Richard Hauck Collection. The floater crystal is in great shape, with just a bit of corner bruising. An old, 5 mm label is glued to the side of the crystal, which leads us to believe, that this piece is from this old and long difunct quarry. MINDAT indicates that magnetite crystals from this locality are on exhibit at the Harvard Museum. RARE, old material.
