Item Description
An aesthetic and striking pseudomorph of scintillating hematite after a sharp magnetite octahedron from the well-known 2002 find in Argentina. This piece has striking, ribbed, skeletal features on all four sides and the "tails" are a nifty accent. It looks like a weird rocketship or bullet with fins. These artistic pieces came from a volcano in a national park, where collecting is strictly prohibited. Supposedly. Anyways, this is a fine piece and who knows when more will come now.
