Item Description
An extremely sharp and lustrous, 8 mm, modified cobaltite cube jauntily set on sulfide 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. Highly representative of the species and locality. A very lightly bruised corner is certainly not much of a detraction on this fine old-timer. Ex Carlton Davis Collection.
