Description

Here we see a colorful miniature sized specimen of Crocoite on matrix, accompanied by somewhat grainy Vauquelinite. With its sharp, arrowhead-like and excellently terminated crystals up to 0.8 cm in size, this is a very beautiful and important German Crocoite mini. Many people have never heard of it, and only a few specimens of this quality are available on the market. This is a very good example due to its general exhibition quality and the size and color of the crystals. A rare and important German classic in very good quality from an old collection. Of significance for Callenberg was the sudden discovery of Crocoite in March 1977 during excavation work in the Callenberg Nord I opencast mine. Pieces of this quality have not been found since then, especially since the Callenberg Nord 1 opencast mine is now a remediated landfill.
