Description

Fine and pure specimen of white leadhillite with typical cleavage and luster. The whole specimen, also from the back, shows platy leadhillite (with a some matrix on the backside).

It should be emphasized that the original inscription is the handwriting of BARTELKE himself.

Ex. Wolfgang BARTELKE collection from the year 1978.

Important note: The specimens are from the renowned collection of Dr. Gerhard JUNG (Hagendorf specialist, after whom the mineral Jungite was named). Dr. Jung was very meticulous regarding the provenance of his pieces. The previous owner is often noted - it is noticeable that Dr. Jung apparently had good contacts with the famous Tsumeb collectors Walter Richard KAHN (Warikahnite) and Wolfgang BARTELKE (Bartelkeite) from the early 1970s to the late 1980s. Many of the pieces originally came from the hands of the aforementioned pioneers. The specimens of the JUNG collection with first-class and documented provenience are presented here.
