Item Description
Typically, the Siderites you'll see from Vizille are either very dark and opaque, or have an oxidation on the surface, so they look somewhat "dingy". THIS piece however has some of the finest quality crystals I've seen from the locality. The piece hosts a few very sharp, well-formed, notably gemmy, golden-green colored, heavily striated, compressed rhombohedral crystals of Siderite measuring up to 1.3 cm across, aesthetically sitting on matrix with a few tiny associated gem Quartz crystals. I love how the main Siderite crystal is just flaring up perpendicular to the matrix, and it's beautifully isolated, so it can be examined from either side. A wonderful thumbnail specimen for any collection. One of my favorite pieces in this auction. From the collection of Shields Flynn.
