Description

THIS is the classic locale for kutnahorite in Germany: The iron ore mine of Buelten-Adenstedt (later Emilie) yielded very interesting specimens of manganese and iron minerals as well as beautiful amethyst samples and more during the mining period which ended in 1976 (Emilie shaft).

This sample is a classic with typical crystal aggregates of slight brownish-salmon-coloured kutnahorite accompanied by pyrite crystals on little limonitic matrix.

Rare stuff!
