Extract

In the Autumn of 1928 Dr. Béla Fülöpp and Mr. G. Kupás sent for examination an unknown mineral, which had been found in no. III level on the main lode of the Kereszthegy mine at Nagybánya, comitat Szatmár [now Baia Mare, Satul-Mare, Romania]. The small crystals show a close resemblance to those of plagionite from Wolfsberg in the Harz Mountains, but the results of our detailed examination prove that we have here a new mineral. For this we propose the name Fülöppite in honour of Dr. B. Fülöpp, an enthusiastic collector of minerals and a generous patron of the Magyar Nemzeti Mfizeum (Hungarian National Museum).
