Description

I have to apologize. This specimen, previously listed as Zincite from the Münsterbusch slag locality is in fact Zincaluminite with Serpierite from the Genna zinc smelter slag locality.

This was a mix-up of boxes.

It is a very fine, fragile white zincaluminite crystal aggregate with greenish blue serpierite coloration.

Will be packed very carefully - still you should expect a little loss in shipping
