| Description |
A fascinating sample of pinkish briethauptite in association with silver. This uncommon nickeline group mineral is named after Johann Friedrich August Breithaupt, who developed the geological concept of paragenesis, when several minerals form in sequence, in association to one another in a specific, limited time period. |
