A RARE and showy old-time two-sided combination from the historic mines of the West Cumberland Iron Field. Lustrous, tan, flattened dolomite rhombs and lustrous, translucent, honey-yellow siderite rhombs cover the front of the undulating matrix of mostly massive dolomite. A striking 6.0 cm vug on the back is lined with siderite rhombs and only a sprinkling of dolomite rhombs. RARE, rich and fine old-time combination material from an East Coast collection.
