Description

Here is a new discovery of an interesting sample of molybdenite and ferberite in a granite matrix from an old mining area that was worked during the 16th and 17th centuries in which the locality was the scene of many mining activities in search of silver and other minerals, and, although the prospects were not very large they did give work and subsistence to the people of the area.
