An interesting specimen of siderite psudomorphs after calcite, on a matrix shared by pyrite and quartz, and with galena on the reverse. When I first started collecting, Romanian minerals were as plentiful as the comparable Peruvian material today. This days, many of the Romanian mines are closed, and the material is not as common.
