Black Jade Magnetite - 1.7 in, Taiwan

A black jade magnetite from Taiwan, deep black stone carrying the magnetite content that gives the material its weight and that slight pull you can feel in your hand. It is small and dense and strange enough that anybody who picks it up will ask about it, which is half the fun of keeping stones out on a desk. Black jade is a stone of strength and grounding. Color and pattern are unique to this piece. This natural specimen measures about 1.7 in wide.
