Description

Grains of greeneish-gray enstatite disseminated in gabbro rock.

Comes with beatiful O. Schmidt label plus old Droop label and on-gued corresponding number sticker. Carl Adolph Droop was born August 28, 1841 in Raumthal, Langenfelde, Germany. Carl Droop was the proprietor of a mineral dealership in Dresden-Plauen, Germany, which he founded in 1889. The business went first by the name of "Sächsische Mineralien-Handlung Droop" as late as 1903, and later (perhaps after the death of the founder?) as "Mineralienhaus Droop."
