This rare striated dodecahedral magnetite crystal hails from a singular discovery at the remote Iron Peaks locality in Utah, where only one known pocket of these otherworldly specimens was ever uncovered. Measuring 18mm x 17mm x 12mm, the crystal exhibits sharp, geometric perfection—each face etched with intense linear striations that give it an almost extraterrestrial appearance.
Unlike typical octahedral or massive magnetite, this crystal's dodecahedral form is unusually well-defined and dramatically textured, with striations that catch and reflect light off its high metallic luster, producing an almost engineered, industrial gleam. The symmetry and dimensionality of the piece make it feel like a naturally occurring artifact, forged in the Earth's core with unnatural precision.
Specimens from this pocket have become legend among collectors due to their unprecedented morphology and the fact that no similar material has been found at the site—or anywhere else—since. For lovers of geometry in nature, metallic minerals, or simply rare and unique forms, this is an irreplaceable piece of natural sculpture.
