Notes / Further information
Slavik examined different samples from the collection of the pharmacist Roscher in 1914. One of the new discoveries he named in honor of the pharmacist and mineral collector Woldemar Roscher (1866-1934) from Ehrenfriedersdorf. The roscherite sample arrived at the museum with the Roscher collection (Berlin) in 1926. |
