Justin was sorting out Pu rocks that needed to be cleaned, and came across half a flat of these Hemetite after Magnetite psuedomorphs. I looked through all of the small ones. This was my very favorite one so I told Pu that he was giving it to me. Pu got them from John Attard, who told him that the locality was "a secret" and that all he could tell them was "Argentina". In any case, it may not be shiny, but it is opague and black, which is almost as good.
