An italian classic, probably from the 1980s out of the former P. Muhl collection, Herdorf (GER), No. 527, from a long time closed mine. A matrix of limestone/carbonate with native sulfur hosts pseudohexagonal threelings of aragonite in abundance. Good condition, nice on display. These aragonites usually are strongly fluorescent in LW UV and also phosphorescent. Did not test though (no lamp here at the moment).
