Description

Old time specimen from Poland: a specimen with malachite, more blueish green pseudomalachite (IMO) and some azurite. This is rarely seen material and comes from the Hans Jaklin stock at Krantz, so it can be assigned to the end of 19th/beginning of 20th century. The specimen comes from the Miedzianka deposit in the Holy Cross Mts., Poland. Please do not confuse this deposit with the Miedzianka (Kupferberg) locality in Lower Silesia.
