Description

A very rare mineral from a very uncommon locality! The piece is out of the famouse German collection of Rolf Wein from Stuttgart. Wein documentated very accurate, he acquired the specimen on 13th August 1974, so it is a very old specimen and in our days this material is very hard, nearly impossible to obtain. Wein-label included
