Hi, nice German classics. The Clausthal tetrahedrite is one of the best I´ve ever seen. Could it be mine... hm... Unfortunately the characteristically tarnished chalcopyrite coverage seems to be removed. Cheers Andreas

No, not really ;-)

Maybe not a perfect or very aesthetic beryl, but a really impressive one for a German locality!
