Dyscrasite, 5 cm, from the Consols mine, Broken Hill, Yancowinna County, New South Wales, Australia. Ex H. J. Pohl collection, ex Hugh Dixson collection, Sydney University, ex Aldridge collection. Mined between 1887 and 1908. The two pieces of the crystal were reunited after more than 50 years by my father, who found the second half of the crystal in an old collection at Broken Hill.
