Item Description

A very showy, aesthetic and rich, two-sided siderite combination from this famed locale. Striking, well-placed clusters of hexagonal, color-zoned tan, siderite disks are beautifully accented with tiny bright pyritohedrons, smaller siderites and a field of muscovite blades. The crystals on the back have an iron oxide coating. Interesting chemistry here. Choice combination material from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
