Description

A superb free-standing iron rose (35mm ac) from this famous classic locality. Iron rose from Mörchner came only from a very small area. All relevant discoveries came many years ago, no new material was found and field-collecting is prohibited in the entire area now. The rose is sharp terminated and highly lustrous, also complete backside and undamaged. The assemble and the contrast are best. Specimen in this size and quality are valued highly, this is for sure a great opportunity!
