Meteorite with siderite as the main mineral, crystal-on-matrix form, from the Coscuez Western Emerald Belt in Boyacá, Colombia.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A piece of historic rarity due to its exceptional origin (Colombia), making it very difficult to find on the international market. The piece is a trimineralogical association of Siderite, Quartz, and Ankerite. The Siderite exhibits the distinctive lamellar and scaly morphology ('dragon skin'). The aesthetic value is based on the compositional harmony of the set, enhanced by the chromatic contrast between the snowy whiteness of the Ankerite and Quartz, which act as decorative elements, and the predominant tone of the Siderite. A specimen of great morphological balance and in pristine condition.
