The Heilige Dreifaltigkeit mine lies adjacent to the city of Zschopau, immediately on its eastern flank and by the banks of the River Zschopau in Erzgebirge, Germany. The central keystone to the adit portal is dated 1555 and appears as if built only yesterday; possibly restored but a superb structure, nonetheless. This ancient mine was a prolific producer of Pyromorphite in many habits. This rich small cabinet specimen is composed of stout, complex intergrown oily green Pyromorphite crystals to 5 mm, forming as individual crystals and rich clusters over a gossanous Baryte matrix of blades and rusty coloured massive, opaque white Baryte.\n
