Item Description
These specimens are from the recent summer collecting in Bolivia this year. This specimen is one of the better Siderite specimens I've offered from Tasna. It hosts several wonderful, good sized, well crystallized, greenish-brown compressed rhombohedra of Siderite up to 2.8 cm associated with Pyrite crystals on matrix. This piece was difficult to photograph, but it's very good for the material (especially from a Bolivian locality). A little bit of edge wear keeps it from being completely perfect, but it is really aesthetic compared to most Siderites I have seen from any locality in Bolivia. Valued at $500.
