Description

This is a rarity combo specimen of greenish crystals of natropharmacosiderite with spherical arseniosiderite. It comes from a recent find that yielded very few specimens overall! I had the luck of acquiring it maybe except from a few pieces and I have been offering the specimens here (I have only sold 4 of them in private deals). I still have some pieces to offer but not many and there are no other specimens from this find, that was it!
