Description

Rare oldtimer vivianite specimen, with dark green crystals on sulfide-rich matrix, predominantly pyrrhotite from this classic Bavarian locale.
The specimen is definitely very old, as the old German handwritten label shows. 
According to my German sources, given the grammar used in the label, it is not to be excluded that the label dates back to pre-1825.
