This might be a small miniature specimen but it is a fine one at that! It is a lovely crystallized aggregate of Braunite from one of the four co-Type Localities - three of which are in Thuringia, Germany. The whole specimen appears to be Braunite and it is richly invested with glossy black octahedral crystals ranging up to 3 mm in size. An old Bernard Stürtz (1845-1928) dealer label accompanying the specimen shows that it was collected pre-1919 - the year Stürtz added "Dr" to his labels. Ex Martin and Michael Günther's superb systematic mineral collection.
