Being not a big fan of Eifel minerals, that one i found quite nice, anyway.

This land produced incredible specimens, not only in the Siegerland area.

Rhodo Bindweide.jpg
 Mineral: Rhodochrosite

Bindweide Mine, Steinebach/Sieg, Altenkirchen (Westerwald), Siegerland, Rhineland-Palatinate/Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany
 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.

Sphalerit Mühlenbach.jpg
 Mineral: Sphalerite, Dolomite
 Locality:
Mühlenbach Mine, Arenberg, Koblenz, Rhineland-Palatinate/Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany
 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.

An old rhodochrosite I saw recently. It comes from Oberneisen, a classic locality for this mineral. The piece is in a private collection here in Germany; according to the records of the owner it was found in 1908.
