Hi,
nice German classics. The Clausthal tetrahedrite is one of the best I´ve ever seen. Could it be mine... hm... Unfortunately the characteristically tarnished chalcopyrite coverage seems to be removed.
Cheers

No, not really ;-)
Maybe not a perfect or very aesthetic beryl, but a really impressive one for a German locality!

I took another trip today to feed you with more photos :) The museum is a medieval building without modern heat insulation, so the 30 °C outside were not that funny when i visited the attic floor. But i made this sacrifice willingly for the pleasure of the FMF community ;) Here we go:
