Description

A nice epsomite specimen from Dr. Geier mine, Bingen, Rhein.

Interesting find from 2006 from the 1971 abandoned mine.

The noteworthiness is the exact find spot, which comes from the so called blue floor level (in German "Blau-Sohle"), 235 meter deep, dating from the colours of the mine surveyor.
