Description

Small octahedral crystals of cuprite on matrix rock from famous Ľubietová (Libetbánya; Libethen), Banská Bystrica Region, Slovakia.

This is a very old and classic specimen, coming with a rare label from old Dr. A. Krantz dated 1830-1850. The company's location "Berlin" at the bottom of the label gives a hint that the specimen dates back before the movement from Berlin to Bonn in 1850.
The most of these old "Berlin" labels show a canceled "Berlin" and subsequent stamped "Bonn" für the new head office location since 1850.
