Description

This specimen is not the most attractive, but by far the best specimen of this rare mineral I have ever encoutered. It was in my subcollection of arsenates, vanadates and phosphates. Even local collections in Germany, one hardly sees haidingerite of this richness and intactness because of it rareness. It was excatly one of these collections where I was able to barter this specimen after long and tough negotiations.
