Magnetite

Locality: ZCA No. 4 Mine (St Joe Mine; ZCA No. 4 mine), Balmat, Balmat-Edwards Zinc District, St. Lawrence Co., New York, USA

5.8 x 5.5 x 3.9 cm. This is an elegant magnetite from this important, briefly collected locality, with sharp, lustrous, jet black crystals to 3.5 cm, though most are a bit smaller. This is a major classic, not just a rarity; but more than that it is just something really different for a common species normally relegated to the drawers and not to display in a showcase. Ex. F. John Barlow Collection.
