This Canyon Diablo comes from F. Krantz Collection and on the right is a native antimony that came with the meteorite sample. These samples date back from 1890.
History
The mineral dealership of Dr. August Krantz (1809-1872) was founded in
1833 while he was still a student at the Freiberg Mining Academy in
Saxony. By 1836 (according to the Berlin City Directory) the company had
moved to Brüderstraße 39 in Berlin. Krantz developed extensive
connections to important scientists and collectors, eventually becoming
one of the foremost mineral dealers in Europe. During the following
years Dr. Krantz expanded his business into many countries and
continents. The company moved its headquarters to Bonn in 1850, where it
opened one of the first geological specialty shops in the world (and
where it continues successfully in business today). August Krantz's
son-in-law, Theodor Hoffmann, took over the business following
Krantz's death in 1872 and ran it until 1888, the last six years with
the assistance of the mineralogist Carl Hintze, until Hintze left to
take an appointment in Breslau. Hoffmann sold Krantz's personal
collection of over 14,000 mineral specimens to the Mineralogical Museum
in Bonn in 1874.
