Description

This is a german classic: brown slightly barrel-shaped prisms of pyromorphite on a quartz rich matrix from the Rosenberg mine in Braubach - next to Friedrichssegen one of the most prolific sources of excellent pyromorphite specimens. This specimen has been in my personal collection for approx. 20 years now and was on display in the Pfälzisches Bergbaumuseum for 10 years. The reason i let it go is the acquisition of an even better and larger specimen for the museum recently. A good and showy sample.
