Description

A super, but not absolutely perfect crystal of Cobaltite from the famous Swedish locale Håkansboda. The crystals is sharp edged and mirror bright. This fact makes a good picture almost impossible. In any case a very good sample with a relatively large crystal. Mining from this copper-zinc-lead-cobalt mine occurred for about two hundred years, and ended in 1873. It displays very nicely! This is an old European classics in excellent form, even by modern standards.
