Siderite, Calcite
Lovilia area, Monroe Co., Iowa, USA
Cabinet, 12.3 x 5.7 x 5.0 cm
SOLD
This is a most unusual specimen, as I have seen very few examples from this small quarry in Iowa. It is a cabinet plate with lustrous, waxy, sharp crystals of siderite. They have a nice chocolate-brown color to them. This is overall a big and impressive piece, and a very interesting locality example of this species. Minor scalenohedral white calcite is in association. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
