Description

An unusual specimen of 'blue-haloed' halite from Stassfurt. The crystal is a rounded portion of cubic symmetry with inside blue spots and haloes given by the radioactive deformation of the crystal lattice.
Beautiful and very rare nowadays, it is a real oldtimer from Europe. It comes with its original labels (paper and pasted), plus the old cardboard tray.
Former collection Weibel (Switzerland), the specimen is most certainly to be dated back to the 19th century.
