Detailed Description

This piece is rather artistically arranged, featuring a line of magnetite crystals to 1.2 cm with a forest of epidote sprays on one side, and some sparkling quartz crystals on the other. The magnetites are sharp with great lustre. In excellent condition – no damage to the magnetites, a few incomplete epidotes. A beautiful, aesthetic specimen.


About These Magnetites

The finest quality magnetite crystals from the famous iron deposits at Dashkesan are among the nicest magnetite specimens from anywhere. These magnetite crystals are particularly special because they feature predominantly the dodecahedron, modified by triangular octahedral faces – they are different from more typical octahedral magnetite crystals.
