Description

Two very lusterous siderite groups on montmorillionite from the Narra Warren basalt quarry in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

The siderite has formed as two botyroidal mounds over dark grey matrix, the luster of the siderite lifts the siderite and helps contrast against the dark matrix. Unfortunately this quarry has been closed and access is not possible
