Item Description
A good association specimen from the famous Siglo XX mine in Bolivia featuring beautiful small tan "discs" of Siderite which have grown into an unusual group that resembles coral or possibly a "brain" with sparkling metallic golden Pyrite or Marcasite sitting on prismatic GEM Quartz crystal. Not terribly common from the standpoint of the species involved, but still an uncommon piece from this classic locality.
