Item Description
Parallel crystals of Jamesonite comprise these three spherical aggregates, which is a very rare habit from Herja. The acicular needles of Jamesonite have an iridescent, metallic luster, and shockingly, despite their morphology, they form these near-perfect balls. The largest is about 2 cm across, and they are dotted with lustrous, pillow-shaped Siderites up to about .2 cm across. Aesthetic and rare for the location, there are even better in person as you can see them scintillate.
