Adamantine red Proustite crystals and smears to 8mm on both sides of sulfide rich matrix. The old label with this piece is handwritten and from the collection of G. Emery, for whom unfortunately I cannot find any biographical information for. Although, there is some German handwritting that if translated may give some clues.
