MagnetiteTypically, the Magnetite specimens from this locality are closely grown together, and this is a great example of said material. The piece has fine, good sized, sharp, lustrous, black, metallic, "Alpine type" octahedra (some are twinned) associated with cream colored Feldspar on matrix. Great quality for the species and the locality, and the faces on the Magnetite crystals are rather smooth and shiny. Keep in mind that there are no other localities

Specimen # BOL711B28

Several very sharp

The “cogwheel” is essentially undamaged

An impressive

whitish yellow “balls” with minor associated Quartz

It goes without saying that specimens of Phosphophyllite with crystals this size can be exceptionally pricey in some cases

The terminations on the Amazonite crystals are rare in my experience and make for a lovely color contrast

If that wasn’t enough

Considering that these crystals are from Bolivia is what makes them truly exciting

Rarely do you see specimens this size with such great crystallization as this one

but this color is simply unheard of

Please note: There is a spot in the corner of the specimen that looks like it might have a leaf preserved inside
