Description: | Pirenees [=Pyrenees], [France] unknown Very fine specimen from William Hunter's original collection. Bill from Jacob Forster, dated 12 December 1780 gives: "1. An exceedingly rare group of yellow rhomboidal calcarious Cristals with real black Cristals from the High Mountains in the Pirenees £12 12s". It has been suggested that this may be from Pointe de Ger, (above "Eaux Bannes"), Col de Lurde, Basses-Pyrenees, [France], by analogy with GLAHM 100061. However, both specimens are almost certainly in fact from Maronne, in Isere, France according ti Pierre-Jacques Chaippero, Paris Natural History Museum. | 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: | SILICA : CARBONATE : CRYSTAL : DISPLAY : OXIDE : MINERAL : 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 |
