Siderite, Sphalerite, Epimorph Calcite, Broken Hill Mine, Aggeneys, Namakwa District, Northern Cape, South Africa
Size: 6.5x4.5x3.5 cm
Species: Siderite, Sphalerite, Epimorph Calcite
Locality: Broken Hill Mine, Aggeneys, Namakwa District, Northern Cape, South Africa
Description: An aeshetic example of this classic South African epimorph of sphalerite and siderite after calcite. Intact all around, so it is not visible, but the interior is hollowed out with only a thin shell of mineralization that once coated calcite crystals. Flashy luster on the faces and sharp edges all around. In great condition, I note only one scuffed edge that is hardly noticeable. There is some fluorescence under UV light in different areas.
