An old handwritten collection number (no. 2144) attached to this specimen relates it to Joseph Neeld's (1789-1856) collection which was dispersed by Gregory, Bottley & Lloyd in the 1970s. A Gregory, Bottley & Lloyd label also accompanies the specimen, cementing the link to Neeld. A great historic specimen from one of Europe's great Mercury-producing regions.
