Now accustomed to the Norwegian and Pakistani pieces, from time to time the market surprises us with a sample from an old and different source. In this specimen we have two bipyramidal crystals, very sharp, black and bright, on a Quartz matrix with Muscovite inclusions. We add two labels. One of them, autographed, is from the old collection of L. Bardelli in Milan (num. 2308) the second one is more modern, coming from the Freiberger Bergakademie.
