Item Description

The Kami Mine is known for its attractive pseudomorphs, but typically we see a lot of very well-preserved examples of Limonite after Siderite. This piece is different as it shows beautiful sharp pseudomorphs of Limonite after preexisting Magnetite aesthetically sitting on crystallized white Quartz matrix. The largest crystal measures 2.6 cm. Good condition all the way around with only a tiny contact on the back. You don't see many of these on the market, especially on such pleasing matrix. Valued at $750. Ex Wouter Van Tichelen Collection.
