Description
Several well formed white Harmotome crystals on a Calcite crystal-fragment from the TYPE LOCALITY, the old Samson Mine of St. Andreasberg in Harz Mountains. Definitely a superb old specimen showing classic twinning of the Harmotome crystals as originally described for the species by the old German mineralogists, and shown in very old mineral prints. These specimens are admittedly somewhat exotic in terms of appreciation to non-German specialists, but are none the less desirable for the species because of the unusually well-pronounced twinning and, as well, remain a very rare old classic. Much better in person.
