Description

A very richly decorated specimen with silver-grey metallic vikingite. The specimen is completely interspersed with vikingite on both sides and shows the classic vikingite structure intergrown with the typical matrix. The specimen comes from the type locality for vikingite, which is extremely rare to find from there. Extremely rich specimen with great provenience. Comes with an original COOK label.

Specimen with great provenience. Ex. Bill & Anne COOK specimen.

I received the specimen from a collector who set great value on extensive documentation. The specimen includes not only the old labels, but also a original postcard of the Ivigtut cryolite mine from 1931. You will also receive two works of literature that also deal with the geological evolution of this deposit.

A comprehensive documented specimen of high-quality with lots of documentary evidence.
