Description

Specimen hosting a geode of appr. 5 mms diameter lined with tiny colorless hemimorphite and bright orange-yellow, tabular wulfenite crystals.

Comes with antique Luigi Bardelli (1869-1905) label. He was born in Milan, Italy and became a chemist at the Superior Technical Institute of Milan, and was well known for an interesting paper, published in 1895, about some discoveries dealing with lead ore from the Coiromonte mines (Ameno Municipality, Novara Province). Three years after Luigi Bardelli's death in 1905 (at Ameno), his widow Ida married Giuseppe Garbari, and the Bardelli collection was incorporated into the Garbari collection. Garbari's mineral collection was finally sold to the firm of Friedrich Krantz in Bonn, Germany, and was then dispersed to many private and institutional collections.
