Item Description

Mineral specimens from the obscure Moroccan locality are seldom on the market and this is a fine combination example. A striking spray of variably-sized, extremely glassy quartz points "protects" a cluster of sharp, brown, siderite rhombs. Complete all-around, with only one cleaved quartz termination. The piece displays very well from many angles. Ex Schlichter Collection.
