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.

I want to add this quartz specimen from Kaub in Rhineland-Palatinate that recently found its way into my collection.
Not only that the piece is quite nice, it also comes from a very picturesque landscape. This area in the southwest of Germany is characterized by looped rivers, steep rocky slopes with vineyards and medieval castles.
Besides that, this locality is not far away (30-25 km) from Braubach where the famous Rosenberg Mine is located, one of the most important mines that produced the world-famous pyromorphites from the Bad Ems area.
This quartz here may be boring compared to those legendary pyromorphites but nonetheless it's a nice piece from Rhineland-Palatinate:

 Mineral: Quartz
 Locality:
Kaub, Loreley risk area, Rhein-Lahn-Kreis, Rhineland-Palatinate/Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany
 Dimensions: Specimen size 12,5 cm, main crystal 3 cm
