Fluorite & Siderite

Reference: 1937

First generation fluorite crystals have been richly coated with siderite adopting the underlying cubic shapes. A second generation of fluorite has formed subsequent to the siderite with a dominant double crystal (33x18x18mm) perched on top of the specimen with smaller ones scattered on the siderite. Unusual and interesting specimen from West Boltsburn mine.  One crystal edge has a small contact point.
