Item Description
A nifty and showy two-sided combination specimen from this famous locale. A splendent, sharp, 1.1 cm, hematite crystal is well-placed on one side of the manganite ore column, with the other side has a radial spray of frosted, translucent, lemon-yellow ettringite prisms on oyelite. The ettringite terminations are pristine, contacted with no damage or are broken. This remains an aesthetic two-sided example of the species and locale.
