Description

First-class specimen with a double-sided, ideally hexagonal, columnar witherite crystal on matrix. The crystal reaches a size of about 1.8x1.3x1.2 cm. A special feature is that the witherite has a classic alteration layer of barite, which makes it very interesting both optically and mineralogically. The exact mine will be the Nentsberry Haggs Mine. An old British classic. 

It comes with two old collection labels. One refers to the Berlin Mineralien-Comtoir of C. F. PECH. The other label refers to the University of Rostock, Germany. Very good specimen of ideal formation including two historic labels. Superb and absolutely rare!
