Description

A mass of drusy pyrite with cell-like structures, whereby the cavities are predominantly lined with small crystals and a few larger crystals up to 3 mm in size. From Giglio island, Tuscany, Italy (not far away from Elba island).

Comes with an old label of the italian enterpriser and collector Guiseppe Garbari. He was born in Trento, Italy, on June 27, 1863 and died in Florence on June 6, 1937. Garbari had contacts with many prominent mineral collectors and dealers around the world. His mineral collection was especially rich in specimens from Italian localities, and from localities in Slovakia, particularly Banská Štiavnica and Kremnica. Garbari's mineral collection was ultimately sold to the firm of Friedrich Krantz in Bonn, Germany, and was dispersed to many private and institutional collections. A number of Garbari specimens are preserved today in the Freiberg Mining Academy's Mineralogical Museum.
