Description

Very interesting specimen found 40 years ago during my second visit to this famous Spanish mining area, it was not easy to find a piece that was not siderite or barite, but on that occasion I was lucky and I found some interesting pieces, at that time the specimen had some very nice blood red reflections but after so long the piece has darkened, it is not analyzed.
