Description
Hematite pseudomorph after MagnetitePayún Matrú Volcano, Altiplano de Payún Matrú, Agua Escondida District, Malargüe Department, Mendoza Province, Argentina
8.1 x 3.6 x 3.4 cm (3.19 x 1.42 x 1.34 in)
The shield volcano of Payún Matrú is famous for producing these spectacularly hoppered and extremely dazzling Magnetite specimens that have fully pseudomorphed into Hematite. The dominant crystal displays an elongated octahedral form with dramatic hoppering on all sides. The surface is a deep steel-grey with scattered flecks of rust-red coloration, giving subtle visual warmth to an otherwise metallic finish. Riddled with tiny, high-luster microcrystals, the entire piece sparkles under light, adding a glittering visual to its already beguiling presentation.
