| Thank you Tobi, I am particularly happy to get this specimen at the St Marie aux Mines show few years ago and not for a fortune. Have a good day.

This ankerite on quartz was extracted by myself from a geode 70 X 50 X 20 cm located in the famous Engelsbourg mine in the St Marie aux Mines valley, the same mine where some of the most beautiful samples of chalcopyrite were discovered. Now it is totally forbidden to enter this mine due to drastic administrative regulations. This sample was discovered in the 70s. Around 20 pieces of this type have been extracted.
| Mineral: | Ankerite on Quartz |
| Locality: | | Sankt Johann Mine (Engelsbourg Mine), Sankt Johann vein, Neuenberg Mountain, Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, Colmar-Ribeauvillé, Haut-Rhin, Grand Est, France | |
|
| Dimensions: | 15 x 10 cm |

| Found exactly like this, no washing was necessary |

This tetrahedrite from the "les Grandes Haldes" mine in St Marie aux Mines district is typical from this locality. Today it is very difficult to find such a specimen. It has been treated with dilute chlorhydric acid in order to remove the calcite that surrounded the crystal. Without calcite the crystals probably didn't survive in the mine cuttings
| Mineral: | Tetrahedrite on Quartz |
| Locality: | | Grande Haldes, Sankt Ludwig vein, Neuenberg Mountain, Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, Colmar-Ribeauvillé, Haut-Rhin, Grand Est, France | |

| Dimensions: | 11 x 8 cm biggest cristal 10 mm |
