Thank you, Tobi and James. I had the information on a sheet that came with the specimen that read Eichstatt, Bavaria, WEST Germany ! I researched the locations on mindat and narrowed the location down to two and as you know I chose the wrong one.
I very much appreciate your help.
Best,
Don

Thank you for your nice comment, Michael. I am willing to bet that you have collected that area close to where you grew up. ;-)
