Interesting old timer with interesting pedigree: this cluster of intergrown pyrite crystals with limonite-coated surface comes from the stock of A.E. Saemann in Paris and was obviously acquired by Adam August Krantz, who cut the Saemann label and put his stamp on it. Nice 19th century classic from Germany.
