Item Description

Sparkly hematite has pseudomorphed a dramatic sculptural 360-degree cluster of sharp magnetite octahedrons. The striking, very elongated, 3.2 cm octo is remarkable and is of an uncommon style. Pristine. Every turn presents a different perspective to this fine piece. These caused a major stir, when they hit the market. These artistic pieces came from a volcano in a national park, where collecting is now strictly forbidden. Excellent material from the Dr. Barratt Phillips Collection.
