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 ...

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

Mineral: | Rhodochrosite |
Locality: | 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. |

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.
