Description

Metallic sheet of eugenite on matrix with minor luanheite. The mine was mined more than 150 years, between 1860 and 1909. This is one of the good examples that I keep because in 1998, the entrance to the mine collapse. The sample is highlighted by the thickness of the sheets of this mineral.
