I recently purchased a bunch of interesting magnetite specimens from a fellow club member here in California. She told me she had collected these years ago from one of the mines in Iron County, Utah and that the actual location was about a 10' x 10' section of the larger mine. While I was never a fan of magnetite when I saw these crystals I couldn't help but to buy a bunch of them. I was under the impression they are quite rare and 1dave confirmed that for me. If anyone has any more information on these I would love to hear from you. Having said that, let's get on with the show!
The lager specimen is over 4" and was the second largest one she had.
These octahedrons, or dodecagons? are what really grabbed my attention.
Some have twins.
And some do this, stack up on one another forming these kind of towers with siderite and apatite crystals attached.
I have several of the crystals left, but they are all in my shop over in Japan. I was wondering if anyone else has any of these or has come across them?
Cheers!
PS, I am looking for agates and other rare minerals from the US. I am a dealer in Japan and sell them there. Likewise I bring back rare Japanese minerals and sell them here in my Etsy shop.
