Dickite

specimen number:
1052220

location:
Piast Mine, Nowa Ruda, Klodzko Co., Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

description:
Bluish green crystalline dickite richly covering a large contrasting matrix, creating excellent visual impact with broad, even coverage rather than isolated patches. The piece is accompanied by an antique label dating to the early 20th century, adding significant historical and collector value. Nowa Ruda, located in the Sudetes of southwestern Poland, is part of a historic mining district long known for coal and associated clay rich deposits, where hydrothermal activity produced well crystallized dickite and related clay minerals. Classic, antique labeled specimens from this locality are increasingly difficult to obtain, making this an attractive example of Polish clay mineralogy with both aesthetic and historical appeal.
