About this specimen

Guizhou siderite at 8 cm and 133 g; a cabinet piece with strong texture. A cluster of olive-brown siderite in stacked, curved blades with a pearly lustre and lighter edges, packed in every direction.

Siderite is recognised by its warm brown tone and slightly curved rhombic faces.

Guizhou is the source of the collector creedite and hosts important fluorite, calcite and copper-mineral localities around Qinglong.

The piece is cabinet in size, 8 × 5.7 × 3.5 cm (3.15 × 2.24 × 1.38 in) and 133 g (4.7 oz). Otherwise the piece is sold exactly as photographed.

Carbonate: never clean with acid or vinegar.
