Item Description
A sharp, lustrous and bronzy, 9 mm, modified cobaltite cube is jauntily set on massive microcrystalline pyrrhotite matrix from a classic Sweden locality - Hakansboda. This is an OLD mine, opened in the 17th century and worked until 1873, with only minor mining during World War I. An excellent example of the species and locality. A pristine crystal on this fine old-timer. Ex Peter Bancroft Collection.
