KEIN MINDESTPREIS. Ex. H. Wunkhaus. Seltenes Halit mit Schwefel in Glasgefäß aus Staßfurt Exemplar - Höhe: 23 cm - Breite: 10 cm- 1198 g
An attractive and uncommon association of massive halite with native sulfur from the classic potash district of Staßfurt. Translucent to milky halite fragments display soft honey-yellow tones caused by intimate intergrowth and impregnation with sulfur. The contrast between the granular cubic halite matrix and the waxy, bright sulfur creates a warm, luminous appearance.
Staßfurt is one of the historically most important evaporite localities in Europe, with Zechstein deposits formed during the Late Permian (~250 Ma). In reducing conditions within the salt sequence, sulfate minerals were partially converted, leading locally to the formation of native sulfur in association with halite and other evaporite minerals.
A characteristic specimen from this classic German locality, illustrating post-depositional processes within large evaporite basins.
