Description

Single floater octahedral crystal of magnetite from the Central African Republic. The associate label shows “Mahoen” as specific locality, but I have not been able to find further information of this locality. The crystal is in very good condition, with strong magnetism, has a black colour and some brown patches.

Acquired in 2001. Ex. Jean Soudan specimen.
