Description

Isaac Walker specimen from the 19th century, belonging to the collection of Henry Heuland (indicated by the "H" on the label): nice deep blue and semi transparent to light blue cyanite crystals in mica schist matrix from the Pizzo Forno. The locality on the label is surely wrong. The small number label pictured on the specimen is loose due to the necessary cleaning of the specimen, it can be reattached. Nice historic specimen!
