This beautiful combination specimen from Brazil features well-formed siderite crystals with sharp definition, bright luster, and attractive surface patterns. The crystals show very good transparency and a warm brown color that gives the piece a lively appearance. They are associated with several pyrrhotite crystals, while small white albite crystals add additional contrast. A very aesthetic and well-balanced combination specimen.
