A slab consisting of intergrown rammelsbergite aggregates.
One side is polished. It resembles somehow the pinolitic texture of magnesite from Sunk, Styria, Austria.
From classic Jachymov (St. Joachimsthal) in Czech Republic.

Comes with original hand-written label of A. A. Damour (1808-1902), a well-known french mineralogist. His personal mineral collection was sold to F. Krantz (who was in charge of the Krantz mineral dealership between 1891 and 1926), probably shortly after his death.
