SIDERITE on QUARTZ

Tincroft Mine, Pool, Cornwall, England
ex. Ken Hollmann Collection
50mm x 50mm x 35mm
A fine English Siderite specimen with yellowish-brown octahedral Siderite crystals measuring to just under 1cm. The crystals are cleanly formed and range from translucent to opaque and have a soft silky lustre. The Siderite crystals have grown over two large Quartz crystals, which are coated in an opaque white sparkling druse of sugary Quartz crystals, providing a nice colour contrast to the brown Siderite. The druse forms a sheet on which the Siderite has grown, and the two original Quartz crystals are now indistinguishable, except from their cross sections exposed on the base of the specimen. The rear of the specimen is covered with crystallized to massive Siderite. A great Tincroft specimen.$1250
