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.
