Description

Oldtimer miniature featuring sharp, dark red, very lustrous proustite crystals upon native arsenic.

Proustite is extremely fresh and lustrous, and despite a couple of minimal dings, the specimen comes with all its historic pedigree, as it comes along with a handwritten label in German reporting 1970 (date of the find?) plus the pasted handwritten label of Swiss collector Berthold Suhner, who also assembled the collection during those years.

Totally a keeper!
