Item Description

A rare habit of siderite from this famed locale, that resembles rhodochrosite of the same style. Sharply triangular, flattened, lustrous, translucent, intergrown, brown siderite crystals are nicely accented on one side with small albite clusters and a textbook siderite rhomb. The crystals on the other side have a totally different orientation. Pristine, except for the attachment point by the albite. Choice and uncommon material from the Larry Krause dealer stock.
