Item Description
A set of 8 Magnetites and a nice reddish Garnet thumbnail: these fine crystals are either singles or in clusters. The surfaces are bright, and the actual crystal faces smooth and lustrous. There are splashes of Chalcopyrite, which provide good contrast on at least one of the clusters. Additionally, the Magnetites show good fire as the light disperses through the crystals. Very good specimens from a famous Magnetite locality, from which we seldom see any thing at all.
