Description |
The label for this Sylvanite, dated 1835, is the same year the species was formally described to science! The original label name was "Schriftenz" if I read it right, with a note to the side that it "looked like Krennerite" added later (as that species was only identified in 1877) in a different pen. In any case, its a very rich, and attractive, specimen of Sylvanite with good size, coverage, and excellent crystals for this, the type locality. |
