Hematite (Historic!) - Rio Marina, Rio, Livorno Province, Tuscany, Italy

$75.00

Small town and former commune (municipality) on the northeast coast of Elba; on its territory are the iron mines exploited since Etruscan times.

This specimen is a piece of history. The Schortman’s label denotes it being sold at their november 1947 Exhibition and sale in New York. Followed by a Christopher O’Neill label (#232), a collection renowned for high quality thumbnails and miniatures. The back of Chris’s label notes he obtained it from LHC in 2005, likely Lawrence H Conklin. It is an otherwise classic and typical example of the ancient iron mines of Rio Marina!
