ex A.A. Damour (FRA)?
Classic Locality

Description Tabs

Description
Locality: 
Ferrere, Bagnères-de-Luchon, Occitanie, France
Class: 
Massive/Crystalline
Size Range: 
Miniature (4.5-7 cm)
Size: 
4.6 × 3.6 × 3 cm
Description

Ugly but interesting: a spherical massive aggregate of "phosphate de chaux" ie calcium phosphate, i would suggest apatite, from France. Unfortunately the name of the collector on the label was cut off, the later added number is typical for A.A. Damour thus i suspect that he handled that specimen.

Please note: postage costs and procedures have changed since Jan. 1st 2019 here in GER. The given tariffs are those on the "safe" side (tracked DHL for international shipping - limit 2 kg total). I am working on a solution that may revert to the former (cheaper) tariffs - as long as i don´t have a confirmation you are welcome to stockpile items to optimize shipping costs. I will inform you about any changes ASAP.
