Description

Small but interesting oldie: the label is from the surroundings of Oberpostrat F.E. Schwerd but dated after his death, though came with his collection from Koblenz (GER). The label writer obviously noted that he thought the "small specimen" is "valuable" (wertvoll). Nowadays we are more prosaic - a small cluster of blueish grey apatite from the Epprechtstein. 1911 specimen.
