Description

Interesting specimen with 7mm crystals on galena from a classic, German location from the Rhineland-Palatinate!

This is a classic Ems District pyromorphite of very fine combination quality.

The famous Rosenberg Mine closed in 1963 and this exceptional piece certainly dates to between 1945 and the time the mine closed.
