Description

Piece of reddish, botryoidal hematite, arranged in layers. A bit resembling the “kidney ore” specimens from West Cumberland Iron Field, Copeland, Cumbria, England, UK.

From old Dr. Krantz stock, comes with amazing, very old label from an unknown collection. The label in old german script means: 'Krystallisiertes rothes Eisenglanzerz von Christophsthal bei Freudenstadt in Württemberg' (Crystallized red hematite from Christophsthal near Freudenstadt in Württemberg). Although quite similar, the handwriting is definitely not by C. F. Bauersachs, as he never used German script in his labels.

Eisenglanzerz = black hematite, Haditsch & Maus 50 (1974).
