A large, complete and (for the species) rather lustrous siderite crystal, decorated on the base with a little muscovite (probably the matrix to which this specimen was formerly attached). Pakistan siderites are frequently found already beginning to suffer goethite replacement, but this specimen is free of any brown, rusty encrustation. No major condition issues with this hunk of iron carbonate.
