Description

This is a Tsumeb oldie featuring native copper in typical spongy, branching, hackly shape, associated with cerussite crystals up to 1 cm.

Comes with old A. Jahn label. Albin Jahn (1886-1946) collected rocks and minerals already as a child, and during the time of his studies in Strasbourg he published a small crystallographic work describing some calcite crystals from a locality in Elsass. He opened a a mineral business in Plauen, Saxony, Germany in 1913, dealing in European minerals and especially those from Vogtland. Between the years 1926 and 1933 he wrote a number of smaller, crystallographically oriented works on Vogtland, Saxony minerals.
