Detailed Description
This tall standing plate is covered with lustrous dodecahedral magnetite crystals up to 1.2 cm. The magnetites are sharp and the crystals have mirror-bright triangular (octahedral) faces. Green epidote crystals and a small crean-coloured chlorapatite crystal accompany the magnetite. In very good condition, some minor chipping in spots. The back of the piece has been cut with a saw to reduce the matrix - this is not visible as displayed. Stands perfectly as photographed in the first photo. Looks great under the display lights.
