This is an older specimen from Langban with a Ward's label (see prov. tab). As described in the book "Langban", it occurs in Hausmannite bearing dolomite & calcite rich matrix - much like this specimen. The Sahlinite itself is light yellow with visible cleavages. Excellent specimen from this incredibly rich mineral deposit. Rare.

Rich specimen of Sahlinite, which on this specimen, occurs as individual 1mm or less crystal grains to 3mm groups in Quartz matrix. Sahlinite is a very rare lead-arsenate. By all accounts this is good specimen. It is out of the Kidwell collection obtained by Dakota Matrix 20 years ago (see prov. tab).
