Item Description

A spectacular looking combination specimen from the famed Beckermet Mine at Egremont. The pretty clusters of curved, ivory-colored, saddle-shaped dolomite crystals are an incredible contrast to the scinitillating, jet-black, bladed hematite that covers the botryoidal, rust-brown, hematite "kidney-ore" crust. Classic and very aesthetic combination material from this noted locale from the Wes Parker Collection..
