Tremendous flat wide striated crystals stand a hair over 11 cm tall! Wow, who wouldn't mind adding
such a large fine piece to their collection? Jumbo-size ferberites up to 15 cm in length are mentioned

Entirely damage free, this well formed light brown siderite of 2.5 cm sits nicely perched smack in-between
