A novelty this year in Munich, because it is from a very recent find. Parallel and skeletal growths of octahedral crystals, some of them extraordinarily lengthened, pseudomorphs after Magnetite, very well defined, bright and almost completely covered by a second generation of small laminar crystals of Hematite.
