Description

An most interesting specimen of Hematite and Marcasite from the White Desert National park in Egypt. The story goes that the specimens have formed originally as Marcasite and Pyrite in a fine-grained sediment on the ocean floor. Probably through diagenetic effects over time the iron sulfides were pseudomorphed (is that a real word?) to iron hydroxides such as Goethite. This is most likely the way this unique miniature-size specimen was formed. Deformed Goethite crystals with a strong metallic luster and traces of iridescence over small quartz crystals on matrix. An interesting specimen for collectors of pseudomorphs ... and how many mineral specimens from Egypt do you have in YOUR collection?
