Notes / Further information
Until now the corresponding holotype material, a very similar specimen, could not be found neither in Berlin (search by Prof. Dr. Christel Tennyson) nor in Regensburg (search by Dr. Dieter Rose).
Collected in 1952, donated by Prof. Dr. Christel Tennyson in 1989. The mineral was named in honor of the Nobel prize winner Max von Laue. |
