Description

A rarity as well wrt provenance and locality: from the Isle of Man comes this nice calcite specimen on a bit of carbonaceous rock matrix and sphalerite on the backside - the specimen comes with the label of the Stockholms högskolas mineralogisk institution. Late 19th century. Could be from the Laxey area as the paragenesis is quite similar.
