Item Description

An attractive piece for any fan of Mexican material or carbonate minerals. This small cabinet sized display specimen is filled with botryoidal groups comprising little brown Siderite crystals that have a rarely seen iridescence on the surface to create a very colorful and showy overall specimen. The largest "ball" measures about 1.1 cm across. The display side is in good shape, though there are some contacted spheres, so it's not completely undamaged. These are fairly rare in my experience, as I've only had a handful of them to offer over the years.
From the collection of Colin Manlove.
