Description

From the old mining district on Thasos island comes this interesting old timer with small adamite crystals on "Arsenbleiniere", the latter not formally identified. Mentioned in "Abriss der Lehre von den Erzlagerstätten" by Richard Beck, professor at the Bergakademie Freiberg 1922.

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.
