Description

Excellent specimen with a large liveingite crystal aggregate (formerly known as rathite II) high in contrast on typical light matrix. The large liveingite crystal crystal is in a cavity and measures around 0.9 centimeters in length (nearly 1 cm!). Large specimen size and specimen of high quality with very huge crystals.

Specimen from type locality. Liveingite is only known from four localities worldwide. Rare mineral.

Comes with a beautiful label from the Natural History museum in Bern (Switzerland). The inventory number (A4375 / L5246), which is noted on the label, is also attached to the side of the specimen. Old-timer from a find in 1966.

Important note: All specimens in this auction 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.
