Item Description

An unusual looking, yet fascinating large combination specimen from this well-known Egremont iron mine. Breciated renifom hematite shells are cemented with calcite and cream-colored dolomite with a nifty curtain stalactitic growth of calcite crystals. Strikingly different on both sides! Specimens of this combination and form are rare. Ex J.B. Dixon and Tom Wolfe Collections. Choice material.
