Description

Blue-reddish corundum crystals embedded in pale matrix, associated to dark grey matrix.
Quite rich historic specimen, whose highlight remains the historic labels (3 of them, all in German language). Former Indergand stock (CH), the older labels are certainly pre WWII.

On all labels it is reported "Mois am Lowenberg im Schlesien" and based on the feedback from a local expert, the area is an erratic boulder in the area of south-western Poland, which prior to 1945 it was located in Germany.
