Description

A nice small specimen with tan beige saddle like rhombs of probably ferroan dolomite. Labeled iron carbonate, from the M&M stock at Krantz, but not the usual label, could be another british collector from the 19th century. I cleaned this specimen in the ultrasonic bath and it lost its more brownish colour which may explain why it was labeled as an iron carbonate due to the colour.
