Item Description
Hakansboda cobaltite specimens are a Swedish classic. This textbook, sharp, pseudopyritohedral thumbnail has brilliant, silver-white luster. Complete all-around, two corners are gently bruised. 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 choice, older thumbnail.
