Here is a nice miniature specimen of these classic blocky, translucent Siderite crystals from the Kami Mine in Bolivia. This tin-tungsten mine is mostly noted for its Quartz and pink Fluorapatite specimens, however, these species are often associated with these unique types of Siderite crystals making for attractive cabinet specimens. This particular piece consists of a trio of satin lustered, translucent, brownish green, 2 to 2.5 cm rhombohedral crystals whose color varies slightly depending on lighting. They are associated with 3 to 5 mm, slightly iridescent Chalcopyrite crystals. Part of an educational set, with these additional items: Siderite ps. Serandite (SYP25-11b) and Serandite (SYP25-11c).
