Beskrivning:
Hematite, Magnetite
- Locality: Payún volcano, Altiplano de Payún Matru, Mendoza, Argentina (Locality at mindat.org)
- Size: 8.3 x 3.1 x 2.3 cm.
- This one, for the size, floored me as one of the most elegant examples. A cluster of small octahedrons of lustrous , dark metallic hematite after magnetite forms the base for an elongated, hoppered crystal measuring 6.25 cm in length, which is crowned by a tiny octahedron. Stark and beautiful contrast of different crystal forms of the same material on the same piece making for a really nuanced whole! This is a pristine floater, complete all around, with better lustre in person than appears here.
