German classic and old-time pseudomorph specimen from the iron mines at Iserlohn, composed almost exclusively by hematite. It has nice elongated scalenohedral crystals of calcite completely replaced by red and black hematite. It comes with an old Krantz label, with two numbers on it, while in the specimen are recognized numbers from three collections: 52, 687 & 772. These classic pseudomorphs are rarely available nowadays in the market.
