Description

A nice and typical example of the "Edle Braunspat-Formation" with rhodochrosite/ankerite, calcite, maybe quartz and diverse sulfides as pyrite and greyish-blackish, not formally identified Ag bearin sulfides (could be fahlore, argentite etc). On the back side a small part is cut and grinded but not polished. 1.2 kg, please be aware of higher shipping costs due to the weight.

Addendum: i got a message from an Erzgebirge specialist who noticed that the Komet Flache vein is not at the Churprinz mine (as stated on the label from the collector). The correct locality is: Komet Flacher, Himmelsfürst mine, Brand-Erbisdorf, Freiberg district.
