Neudorf is primarily known for the maybe best galenas in the world (and for sure the most desired and most expensive ones), but there were also other minerals:

I fear you can't expect to find them anymore ;-) Joking aside: Gorgeous specimen, Jordi, you know I always love to see those galenas from Neudorf! Especially when combined with siderite, they are (together with rhodochrosite from Sweet Home Mine) my personal all-time favourites in the mineral world ...

Most people do not like slag minerals. Well, i do. The many of them are colourful and well-crystallized but, however, small. Sometimes you see some "monsters" like the shown piece i picked at the Ehrenfriedersdorf show last weekend.

Once again Neudorf ... though I know these specimens are rather boring without galena ... at least they are available and affordable ;-)

I only hope that fossils are accepted too.
This is a rare "Silver fish" paleoniseum freieslebeni from Fortschrittschacht, Eisleben.
At least it is a pseudomorph silver after fish.
I think our german friends know them - much fun!

Büchenberg Mine, Elbingerode, Oberharz am Brocken, Harz, Saxony-Anhalt/Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany
