An interesting flattened rombohedral siderite with the typical creamy colored outer zonation often seen in the examples coming from this mine. It's surface being quite translucent, having very nice glassy luster, and a surface texture in a kind of scaly pattern, with it being only visible on the edges of the crystal as the center of it is covered by a thin layer of muscovite mica. There is also some minor chalcopyrite disseminated around the piece and a few chunks of quartz in the back, with the whole piece only being broken at the base and on those quartz fragments, with the rest of it being perfectly preserved.
