Green Apatite, large Siderite crystals coated by Pyrite, Calcite, and Muscovite all combine in this colorful and interesting specimen, well crytallized front and back. This was in the Chuck Trantham collection and comes with two old labels, one from Lidstroms showing a decades old price of $70 and one from the Cliff Krueger collection showing a price of $50. I value this at $200 today.
