Item Description

Siderite specimens are very rare from the Erongo Mountains, but to have goethite pseudomorphs after sharp siderite rhombs aesthetically accompanied by a 1.9 cm aqua crystal, schorl crystals and etched microcline is unheard of. The prominent, large brown pseudo is 3.0 cm on the diagonal and the pseudos are partially covered with super-sparkly micro-hematite crystals, adding much character. A very rare and showy pseudo combo from the Erongos and the Charlie Key dealer stock. Valued at $400-500.
