Item Description

Splendent dark metallic-gray magnetite octahedrons cover the volcanic matrix on this very rich and showy small cabinet example from the early 2000s finds at this well-known locale. The octos reach 1.2 cm on this excellent, highy representative example of these magnetites, that closely resemble the classic Alpine-type pieces from Switzerland.
