Description
A splendid duo of two isometric sulfide mineral species, both rare, from the Stahlberg Mine in Musen, Germany. Gray-white, satin metallic, octahedral to cubo-octahedral crystals of Linnaeite from 1-3 mm intermittently cover much of the display sides of the piece, with the remainder of the specimen comprised of minor Siegenite. Linnaeite is a rare cobalt sulfide and this is an extremely rich piece for the species and Siegenite is a rare cobalt-nickel sulfide. Isolated and lightly clustered crystals of 1 to 2 mm, tan colored Siderite are scattered locally. This is a rare, old piece from the Hefendehl (ex. Gebhard collection) in Germany with one experienced label from Wolli Wendel who analysed it to confirm both species were present.
Known provenanceKnowing where your specimen comes from and who owned it adds to its story and value. Good provenance helps prove it's authentic and preserves important details about its discovery.
