Dramatic and unusual "nests" of lustrous, black sphaerosiderite balls in vugs in a CABINET matrix from a very UNCOMMON locality, Moscow, Idaho. These siderite botryoids in the vugs really look like eggs in a nest. Ex Gary Hansen Collection. Never seen another so large and rich! ugly but beautiful, folks! 12.0 x 10.3 x 9.3 cm
