Description

THIS is the classic locality for kutnohorite in Germany: The iron ore mine of Bülten-Adenstedt yielded outstanding specimens of manganese and iron minerals as well as beautiful amethyst samples and more during the mining period which ended in 1976 (Emilie shaft). This sample is a classic with typical aggregates of salmon-coloured kutnohorite, collected by Paul Hanses in the early 1960s. Rare stuff!
