From the TYPE LOCALITY for this rare species, here is a protected cavity in sugary dolomite matrix hosting battleship-gray, elongated crystals of rathite to about 6mm. In association is pyrite and realgar. The luster is dull, as is typical for the species, and indicative. From the collection of a longtime Lengenbach collector, which was sold off recently. SHARP CRYSTALS, in person!
