Magnetite on Quartz (old classic) ex Mullane Coll.

Item Description

A 1.9 cm, metallic-luster, layered, magnetite octahedron is jauntily set on massive quartz matrix on the excellent old-timer from the Dennis Mullane Collection. This piece hails from one of the many magnetite iron ore mines from Essex County, New York. These mines were active over 100 years ago and specimens are rare and are seldom on the market. Comes with an old faded label.
