Vug in basaltic matrix lined with extremely fine acicular crystals of mesolite. From a German locality not well represented in collections.
This excellent specimen of galena comes from a classic ancient German lead-zinc mine. It shows a group of cubic crystals, interpenetrated. Good metallic color and luster, perfectly disposed on a matrix of dolomite crystals peppered by tiny chalcopyrite. It is a perfect miniature collected in the 60s, a German classic.

From a classic German locality: Alberoda bei Aue. This locality is known by its silver sulphosalts, but not well represented in collections. This sample is very rich in brilliant stephanite crystals and some reddish pyrargyrite. An old specimen, old label and quality.
The color is exceptional in this pyromorphite specimen from this German mine. On a sandstone matrix a layer of prismatic crystals and some more barrel-shaped. Two generations are observed distinguishable by color crystals. Brilliance and well defined faces and edges. A sample for pyromorphite collectors.
