Item Description

A fascinating, pristine, floater stellate pseudomorph spray of lustrous burnished brown iron hydroxides, primarily goethite, after marcasite from the White Desert of Egypt. A striking pseudomorph with the radiating 4-sided spear points. These came out a number of years ago, with none since (note this is a rather dangerous area to collect minerals, as well...and yet a French dealer we were friendly with years ago, made several trips to do so!). Ex Cook Collection. Every rotation presents a different perspective on this crazy specimen.
