One of the best Aurichalcite (variety zeiringite) specimens from Peramea that we know of. It comes from the collection of Adolf Bull, a chaplain from the Black Forest area in Germany, which he assembled between 1950-1965. The 'zeiringite' is on Calcite that grows on an earlier generation of cobalt-bearing Calcite that can be seen especially on the back of the piece. From a small mine in the Catalan Pyrenees, the Solita mine, located in the town of Peramea, which exploited minerals rich in cobalt and nickel.
