Description

Classic and colorful combination of azurite and malachite from a well-known mining area whose beginnings date back to the 11th century

Comes with very beautful old label. The label means: "Azurit - Kupferlasur mit Malachit - Neusohl Ungarn"
"Kupferlasur" is an old german synonym for azurite.
"Neusohl" is the old german name of Banská Bystrica in modern Slovakia.
The label states "Ungarn" (Hungary) as country, so the label can definitly be dated to before World War I, when the area was part of the austro-hungarian empire.
