Description

Piece of massive, golden chalcopyrite with white inclusions of quartz. The Kelchalpe area was mined for copper as early as in the Bronze age - numerous archaeologic excavations have been made there.

Comes with antique label and corresponding number sticker.
Hans Jaklin was an austrian collector and mineralogist, born in 1874. He may have been a Royal Imperial "Mining academician" (k.k. Bergakademiker). His mineral collection consisted almost exclusively of specimens from Austro-Hungarian localities.
The Krantz mineral dealership obtained his mineral collection, which appears to have been quite numerous.
All labels are squares of brown paper rubber-stamped with his name in purple ink.
