Description: | [Kircheimbolanden, Rhineland-Pfalz], [Germany] unknown From William Hunter's original collection. A nice, and strange-looking specimen. The Trustees catalogue of 1794-7 says, under Iron: "No 41. Haematites of a red colour apparently formed in a cavity formerly occupied by a piece of the Rim of a Wheel the surfaces polished it is radiated from the surface towards the Centre which is partly hollow partly occupied by loose Calx of Iron and small stalacitites of Haematites. From Kirkheim Polelen." The locality is probably Kircheimbolanden, in Rhinland-Pfalz, although the museum catalogue gives Saxony. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | MINERAL : ORIGINAL BEQUEST : OXIDE : HABIT : TUCSON EXHIBIT 2006 : : HUNTER 2007 : EH_HUNTER_MINERALS : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
