Description

An old time classic from Cornwall. Brownish axinite crystals in vuggy more or less massive axinite. The crystals are certainly not the best ones and the specimen is not a beauty at all but comes with pedigree: A Carl Herzog label lists as acquisition date Nov 27th 1943. Other labels include one from the mineral collection of Hermann Kraft, the obviously youngest label (a card) lists 1973 as purchase date. 5 labels in total.
