Linnaeite is a rare cobalt sulfide (CoCo2S4), first found in Sweden and named after the famous botanist Carolus Linnaeus. This antique German specimen evidently passed though a couple of old German collections before ending up in the collection of Paul Jung, which is now being dispersed. It features several crystals of this very rare species to 6mm in size, set in massive linnaeite and chalcopyrite. 5 x 4 x 2 cm
