Very nice specimen, Jordi, could be most likely from Friedrichssegen Mine. Just yesterday I received a classic Bad Ems pyromorphite from another mine as new specimen, perfect time to publish it after your wonderful brown specimen:

| Locality: | | Mercur Mine Group (Mercur Mine), Bad Ems, Bad Ems District, Lahn Valley, Rhineland-Palatinate/Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany | |

| Nice specimens, especially the Wolf Mine rhodo and the beautiful pyromorphites! By the way, looking at its habit, the first specimen is most likely also from Friedrichssegen Mine ...

|
| Dimensions: | 10 x 7,5 cm |
| Description: |
| The Bindweide rhodos have not the colour and the beauty of the specimens from Wolf or Louise mine. Since you just don't see them, they're even more sought-after by local collectors. |

| Mineral: | Sphalerite, Dolomite |

| Dimensions: | 7,5 x 6,5 cm |
| Description: |
| Although Mühlenbach was one of the last producing German mines it's rather unknown. The mine was part of the Bad Ems district. Mineral specimens from there are very rare, they hold kind of a holy grail status among local collectors. |
