Description

Piece of massive, dark-greenish "tabergite" (an old synonym for hydrobiotite) with silvery luster, from the name-giving location Taberg, Nordmark district, Filipstad, Värmland, Sweden.

An important historic sample which comes with antique Hugo Kemna label. Kemna was a mineralogist and mineral dealer, first in Hannover, Germany (as "Mineralien-Niederlage zu Hannover"), and then in Göttingen (as "Mineralien-Handlung in Göttingen," then as "Mineralien-Niederlage zu Göttingen"). A notice in "Neues Jahrbuch für Mineralogie" stated that the move from Hannover to Göttingen took place on October 1, 1877, thus the label can be dated to the late 19th century.
