| Probably the best German stibnites from there... Regarding your mindat list post: the mindat list is - by far - not complete. There are roundabout 1900 different mineral species known from German localities. However, you´re right. There are new species found every year...

Wow, even 1900? Any reliable source for this?

| Me;-) Maybe about 50 species are doubtful in this list. Many of those 1900 species have never been published, of course.
