This is an extremely rich specimen consisting of shards of a dark grey matrix cemented together with siderite, lazulite, and quartz. There are several cavities filled with beautiful, gemmy blue-green lazulite to 3mm, brown siderite to 4mm and sharp, brown 'needles' and sprays of eosphorite/childrenite. There are also some clear, prismatic quartz crystals and several tiny, clear apatites. This specimen is a feast under the microscope with lots to see.
