Cluster of transparent to translucent Siderite crystals with stepped and modified Rhomb forms dominating. With backlighting this glows a deep honey-yellow color and is quite lustrous. In good shape overall there are some rough spots but none are major. The Siderite from this locale is some of the best in the world. The largest flattened rhomb on this piece is 3.1 CM across, and has sharply stepped faces. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
