Red, Iron-Rich Variscite Vug
Red, Iron-Rich Variscite Vug from Iron Monarch open cut, Iron Knob, Middleback Range, Eyre peninsula, South Australia, Australia
Collection Robert Lavinsky
Description A very rare and rich cabinet specimen of a vug filled with superb sparkly and gemmy, tiny dark wine-red ferrian Variscite crystals from the Iron Monarch Quarry of South Australia. Extremely hard to come by and this is a rich specimen, not to mention just plain pretty. Variscite as a species rarely crystallizes and this is one of the prettiest of the few such occurrences.
Locality Iron Monarch open cut, Iron Knob, Middleback Range, Eyre peninsula, South Australia, Australia
Dimensions 10.9 X 7.6 X 4.7 cm
Specimen Grade D
