Description
A large and rich ore specimen from the famous Clara Mine of Wolfach in the Black Forest, Ortenau. (The recently used description Freiburg Region is absolutely wrong. Freiburg is just the regional council.) Despite the Polybasite is not pristine, it is a large and impressive cluster of bladed and well striated crystals with fine metallic sheen and a slight patina. In the 1980s I visited the Clara Mine very often with my moped. The find of good Polybasites (at that time Antimonpearceite) was most desirable, but I seldom found such rich items.
