Thanks Tobi. The mines in this district exploit skarn type deposits and minerals from the Ocna de Fier area are much less common that those from Maramures. The specimen is from a European collection and I was delighted to find it this year in Tucson.

Interesting sample of "flos ferri" aragonite from a classic locality: The Neuhoffnung (or: Neue Hoffnung) Mine belongs to the famous Mercur Mine - one of the main sources of the famous "barrel shape" Bad Ems pyromorphite classics :-)
