Description

This is one of the finest kermesite from Bräunsdorf we ever handled. This gorgeous specimen features numerous of spheroidal sprays of crimson Kermesite (crimson in German : kermesin-rot/red) The whole displayside is covered with kermesite associated with white quartz. Actually on many of the other specimens you can see just a spray or two perched largely invisible in a vug. And this super items is so typically from Bräunsdorf, that there are no doubts. A super piece comes with two old labels,- one from Wolfgang Schneider and one from E. Noske.
