Siderite, Baryte and Galena

Simultaneous agglomeration of three interesting minerals: Siderite, Baryte and Galena from Cwm Leyshon Quarry located in Caerphilly, South Wales. All three components of this specimen have distinct and visually striking features making it a perfect addition to any mineral collection. Firstly, siderite is a form of iron carbonate which - although possessing a dull lustre - exhibits a distinct red colour. Baryte is the lightest of the three minerals and stands out with a pale white glow; it is also unique for its saccharoidal texture. Galena veins are on show, which stand out with a vitreous lustre and bright blue appearance. This specimen is a three-in-one must have item for any serious collectors of minerals. Available in 2 sizes (1.5" x 1.5" and 3" x 2"), each specimen is provided with a white card tray and information label.
