Improving Mindat.orgBismuth
9th Jul 2017 07:35 UTCChristian Auer 🌟 Expert
It seems to be bismuth and it seems to be from Hüttenberg. I know many specimen from there; we have one with about 7kg almost pure bismuth in siderite. I just wondered what happened to this one and think it was treated in two ways which should be mentioned in the description.
It was cut and it was heavy etched. Etching siderite you need at least HCl (strong or warm). I wouldn`t have done it but ok tastes are different.
But it should be mentioned somewhere!

To be honest I'd rather have a non-treated sample...

It was very common stuff around 1985, my guess would be several hundred kg were found in that time.
