The specimen has nice rhombic crystals of Calcite, the largest of which is 1.2cm. All of the other Calcite crystals are encrusted over by Siderite (?). As you can see from the photos are perefrentially coated on the corners and edges of the Calcite crystals. 

The locality had me previously stumped, but Don P. gave me the correct locality. Thanks

Don!
