Description

Interesting historic specimen with old handwritten label: A cluster of Limonite Psm. Pyrite crystals, on the label described as "Brauneisenerz", from the old mining district Dillenburg. I have seen a similar specimen from Dillenburg with the more precise localitiy information "Hackelbusch Mine", Donsbach. Maybe this sample is from the same locality.
