Item Description

A good association specimen from the famous Siglo XX mine in Bolivia featuring sharp, lustrous, colorless, GEM quality, prismatic Quartz crystals which are coated by small tan "discs" of Siderite with metallic bladed golden Pyrrhotite. Fairly common from the standpoint of species, but still an uncommon piece from this classic locality.
