Interesting old time locality specimen woth pedigree: a quartz vein matrix hosts blue and green inclusions of malachite and azurite. Whilst the specimen is not spectacular it is a nice 1915 example from the collection of K. v. Steinwehr, with detailed description label, additional Steinwehr label and attached label on the specimen. Must have for locality collectors, from the town where the famous Dr. Geier Mine rhodochrosites come from.
