Description

That's a great pseudomorph of limonite after gypsum from the classic locality!I haven't seen many pieces of this find and this is a large one!The piece is covered by limonite on one side and remains of gypsum on the inner side.It seems that limonite has actually replaced something else,possibly romanechite but further research should be done to confirm this.I suggest that by other similar pieces I have seen with remaining romanechite on them.The piece is very aesthetic and quite stable,with no point of damage.
