Item Description
A DRAMATIC, CABINET-SIZED specimen of lustrous, golden-brown, zinc-rich, siderite disks FESTOONED on all sides on a SHOE-SHAPED matrix! The backside of the piece is strikingly caverous! Siderite is a common gangue mineral at the famous and now-closed Tsumeb, but SELDOM in this size and quality. EXCELLENT condition for the size. Ex Rob Smith Collection. Value??
