This very unique specimen has metallic-dark-gray octahedrons of Magnetite coated with a thin layer of Quartz (var. Chalcedony) which act as the backdrop for rosettes to 10 mm of cream-colored Chalcedony. This is an exceptionally aesthetic specimen. It is free of damage, and out of several hundred of these I have never seen another like it.
