Description Tabs

Description
Locality: 
Hallstatt, Upper Austria, Austria
Size Range: 
Small cabinet (7-10 cm)
Size: 
7.3 × 6 × 3.2 cm
Description

A halite matrix with a possible sectioned anhydrite crystal across teh front and around the edges deep blue green bloedite.   The specimen shows some alteration through efflorescence but not surprising since it has not been kept in an air tight container and it pre-dates 1892, as evidenced by the original name/label simonyite.

Whilst the Academy label gives Hallstadt, Germany as the location it is far more likely to be Hallstatt, Austria.
