Description

A more rare locality and a quite rarely offered mineral from the Erzgebirge: this specimen - dating from the second half of the last century - comes from shaft 6 / 6b in the Schlema district. It features aggregates of whiteish acicular crystals on sulfide/arsenide matrix with some earthy nickel secondaries (labeled to be annabergite). The white sprays are ID´d as pharmacolite. As i did no analysis i cannot rule out picropharmacolite.
