Item Description
Lengenbachite and jordanite are two of the rarest of the macrocrystalline oddities from this amazing locality. Metallic-bright lengenbachite laths are richly scattered in the stringer-like vein on two sides of the sugary dolomite matrix. A 3 mm blocky, metallic jordanite crystal is partially hidden in a vug. Classic and rare combination material from this historic locale. Ex Natural History Museum of Bern label and a faded Scott Williams Minerals Unlimited label that dates from 1948-54.
