Description

A fluorite specimen with very nice purpe color zones from the famous Baveno quarries, Verbano-Cusio-Ossola Province, Piedmont, Italy.

Comes with an antique label of the italian enterpriser and collector Dr. Guiseppe Garbari. He was born in Trento, Italy, on June 27, 1863. In 1908 Giuseppe married a Milanese woman, Ida Carugati Bardelli, daughter of the owner of a cotton mill and widow of the well known Italian collector Luigi Bardelli.
Garbari had contacts with many prominent mineral collectors and dealers around the world. His mineral collection was especially rich in specimens from Italian localities (e.g. Bottino, the island of Elba, Sicily, etc.), and from localities in Slovakia, particularly Banská Štiavnica and Kremnica. He deceased in 1937. Garbari's mineral collection was ultimately sold to the firm of Friedrich Krantz in Bonn, Germany.
