Extract

Although zinekenite and wolfsbergite are to be considered as isomorphous, it seems to be as rare a thing to find simple crystals of zinekenite as it is to find twinned crystals of wolfsbergite. In the following note simple and twinned crystals of the two minerals respectively are described.
