Description

One isloated, sharp siderite crystal attractively set on small matric. The faces of the crystals are lustrous and consist of tiny stepped tiles. On the right hand side you can see a group of water-clear sparkling rock crystals, which are partly inter-grown to the siderite. Very aesthetic assemble, really fine quality and the addition of rock crystal is really the cherry on the cake.
