Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic Alpine beauty from Italy!!! This specimen consists of an aesthetic combination of gem hessonite garnet and colorless diopside set on
clinochlore crystals!!! Classic material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
Wolfgang Pohl worked in the mining industry in Namibia in the 70s and 80s and was a
prolific collector and dealer during and after this time!!! He would make trips back
and forth to his native Germany trading specimens he had acquired in Africa for
worldwide specimens!!! Pohl was rather meticulous with his labeling and record keeping
with most of the specimens in the collection having catalogue numbers, label with info
on locale, source/dealer info, acquisition date, and any other relevant notes!!! However,
the most interesting feature is that most of the labels also had a small sketch of the
specimen on the reverse side as well!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
