A CLASSIC, OLD-TIME and showy specimen of highly lustrous, "wet-look," light brown pyromorphite prisms richly and attractively covering quartz-rich matrix from the famous Rosenberg Mine at Bad Ems, Germany. I particularly like the isolated, larger crystals at one end, which reach 1.0 cm. Excellent, two-sided material from this famous district. The Rosenberg Mine closed in 1928. Ex. George Elling Collection.
