$18.00
This listing details one magnetite crystal from Skardu, Pakistan. Beautiful shiny luster, well terminated geometric forms, and interesting growth patterns make this crystal truly top quality. The luster is a deep black with mostly mirrored, metallic finish. Some faces may have interesting mineralized patterns or matric growth on the surface as well. This crystal is completely natural and unpolished so there may be small imperfections and contact marks. This amazing crystal would be a great addition to any collection. Magnetite is a rare, crystalized form of iron. Most commonly, crystalized octahedrons are small (less than 0.75cm or smaller); however this piece is larger than a 1cm cube. Truly a rare collectors piece.
Perfect crystals for amplifying a grid, medicine bags, jewelry, or crafting. Magnetite, also known as Lodestone, is one of the few naturally magnetic minerals on earth. They have been long prized by ancient peoples all over the world. The ancient Greeks and Chinese experimented with magnetite to invent the first compasses. The Olmec of North America are said to have used Magnetite to plan and build their sacred sites. Lodestone is referenced in countless ancient and old world texts, and has fascinated humans for thousands of years. Lodestone in old English means 'guiding stone', or 'leading stone' in reference to its use in navigation. It is a stone of attraction, wonder, and guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is shipping guaranteed to track?
Standard shipping is the most economical method- First Class Mail through the U.S. Postal Service. This does not come with guaranteed tracking to the destination. The package usually scans and updates within the U.S. however, international tracking is not available. It is the buyers responsibility to understand all shipping/customs policies in their country.
We offer many shipping upgrades which include tracking and insurance upon request. Please contact us to customize shipping options (such as signature confirmation and added insurance) or select 'Tracking and Insurance' as an upgrade to Priority mail.
Please note, that some destinations do not offer Priority Mail tracking.
**We are not responsible for lost, stolen, or delayed mail
Are there estimated shipping times for First Class Package?
I ship through USPS First Class Mail in order to offer low cost shipping. Unfortunately, this service is highly variable on shipping times, and is inconsistent in tracking international. Typically packages can arrive anywhere from 10-30 business days or longer. Although First Class is my default shipping method I highly recommend upgraded shipping for express shipping times, guaranteed tracking, and insurance. Please contact us with any questions you may have or to request the use of Fed Ex or UPS services.
