Item Description
Siderite specimens are very rare from the Erongo Mountains, but to have goethite pseudomorphs after sharp siderite rhombs aesthetically perched on the tip of a smoky quartz crystal is unheard of. The lustrous, brown pseudos reach 1.2 cm and are all pristine. The smoky is water-clear and has good color. A very rare and showy pseudo combo from the Erogos and the Charlie Key dealer stock. Valued at $200-300.
