Ozocerite is a natural wax, the German name 'erdwachs' (earth wax) describing it best. Very rare and unusual material for a mineral collection. The second and last specimen I've got and ever seen.

Rearding label: Galicia is not only a region in Spain, but was a historical territory in South Poland and West Ukraine, for a while a kingdom of its own.
