Thank you, Tobi! I got some pieces by chance, also few from the old Rohrberg mine (both in Ziller valley). I had to take them all, because nowadays it is nearly impossible to get pieces from these mines!
Best wishes
Volkmar

You did it right! When there's a chance to get really rare stuff and when you have the budget to do it - take it!
