Description

A very nice and showy old timer from Krantz from Cleator Moor. A shell like aggregate of kidney ore haematite hosts innumerable sparkling specularite crystals on one side, scattered with some bipyramidal quartz of the typical habit. The specularite has some a bit worn parts but this is overall a very nice example of these cumbrian classics.
