20hhgd.is ((MALACHITE)), $25 MINIMUM BID, Nizhnii Tagil, Urals Region, Russia, 9.5 x 5 x 3.5 cm, Cabinet | |
Label from Dr. F Krantz, Germany. I looked on mindat.org to verify the locality and I did not find a Malachite that matched. Glenn Davidson collection was packed up by a non mineral collection. There were a number of specimens without labels and extra labels without specimens. I did not witness the collection before or during packing. I usually check mindat.org to verify localities and labels. I am inconclusive on this one. Label was with the specimen but there is always the possibility that the wrong label was with the specimen. I did not see how the collection was stored or displayed before purchasing it. Packing was already completed. I like to see similar specimens from the locality on the label which I did not see on this one. So I am not guaranteeing that the locality and label is correct. ex Glenn Davidson collection. |
