Calcite, Siderite, Aragonite – Hillarion, Lavrion (Laurion), Greece

 Wonderful, darker flaky calcites sit on a radiant white, partly spherical aragonite matrix, and underneath is a highly lustrous, chocolate-colored siderite crystal.

 This magnificent collection from Greece presents itself in absolute aesthetic style!

 Lead and silver ores were mined in the Lavrion mining area south of Athens as early as 5,000 years ago. Today, the mines are closed to the public.
