Description

This specimen features a white quartz section loaded with countless thin gold blebs and leaves. The grey matrix rock hosts veinlets of something what is possibly chalcopyrite (pics 3, 7, 9), accompanied by an unidentified mineral with the typical bronze metallic color of coloradoite (pic 8)

This is an old specimen with origin W. von Hindte. Not much to be found about von Hindte, he had some publications about local geology, mining and especially mining techniques in the 1920's and 30's. He possibly lived in Lauthental in the Harz mountains.

Unfortunately no exact locality specified.
