A novelty this year in Munich, because it is from a very recent find. Parallel and skeletal growths of octahedral crystals, some of them extraordinarily elongated, pseudomorphs after Magnetite, very well defined, bright and almost completely covered by a second generation of small laminar crystals of Hematite. This specimen was photographed for the ‘what’s new at Munich 2008’ section of the magazine ‘Mineralien Welt’ and appears on page 16 of number 1/2009.
