Item Description

Two intergrown, exceptionally large blocky olive-green, lustrous siderite rhombs, to 4.3 cm, have dramatic stepped-growth faces. The siderites are complete all-around and pristine. The coated 2.7 cm terminated quartz crystal on one side is a super accessory and the matrix consists of apatite crystals, pearlescent muscovite plates and a few more quartz crystal sections. A most impressive 360-degree siderite combination with large rhombs from the famous Panasqueira Mine, with even the mine level known. A very choice and classic specimen from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
