Goethite after Siderite with Hematite, Schorl, Microcline

Unknown Owner
Sharp rhombohedral crystals of what were once siderite measuring to 2.0 cm in size, these now replaced by brown goethite. Partially coated by specular hematite crystals, these are across a cluster of microcline crystals with a lustrous black crystal of schorl. In good condition all around, a good combination specimen.
