Cryolite matrix with a lot of Siderite hosting many vugs filled with waterclear Thomsenolite and iron-stained, excellent crystals of Ralstonite. On the backside are minute single crystals, hardly noticeable creamy yellow Wulfenite, less than 0.6mm on "hagemannite", a mixture of limonite and thomsenolite. This is a very good combination specimen with good crystals.
