Highlight of this specimen:

- The hematite lamellae are extremely lustrous.

For your information:

- These specimens were discovered by chance in 2003 during topographical surveys of World War I bunkers at the summit of the Tête du Violu (Bernardstein vein) in the Vosges Mountains near Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines (source: mindat).
This little-known discovery was reported in *Le Règne Minéral* No. 103, January/February 2012.
