Description: A nice galena from Neudorf/Harz is hard to get, though. Nevertheless I´d say that getting a good fluorite from there is even harder. I bought this specimen with the declaration "Schönbrunn, Voigtland". But in fact it is an old classic from Neudorf with typical siderite and quartz crystals on the pale blue cubes as well as some sphalerite and galena in the shist matrix. Former collection of Bergdirector Geipel/Eisleben, dating from 1921 (without label, unfortunately). The cubes measure up to 2,5 cm.
