Interesting pyromorphite with 3mm crystals 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 piece certainly dates to between 1945 and the time the mine closed. It is accompanied by vintage labels #6985 from the collection of Joe Cilen (1916-1997), one of the best-known mineral collectors in the northeastern United States.
