A very neat specimen for this locality consisting of large sharp octahedral crystals of magnetite to 3.0 cm in size, some even slightly larger, now replaced by sparkling specular micro crystalline hematite. Completely crystallized all around with no real points of attachment. Very minimal chipping along some extreme edges, overall I think in very good condition. Measures 14.0 x 13.0 x 3.5 cm.
