A neat combination piece with rounded crystal groupings of lustrous siderite measuring to 0.7 cm in diameter across the top of a matrix with crystallized pyrite and calcite. Minor chalcopyrite is present as well. A previous label that comes with the specimen notes the presence of lollingite, that I don't think is present. In good condition with very minimal micro-damage present.
