Identity Help?Wulfenite?-Barite-Galena-Mibladen-Morocco

My name tag says: Wulfenite-Barite-Galena. It's: wide:14,5cm, depth:11cm, hight:11cm


Wulfenite with this structure?!! For me this should say "Pyromorphite"-Barite-Galena.

I'm not sure either it is from Mibladen. Barite in combination with Galena, yes. But not combined with Pyromorphite. Could not find a location for the mineral combination Pyromorphite-Barite-Galena. So what is it and where is it from? Thanks.

I agree, it's pyromorphite. Not sure about the locale.

Thanks Kevin, forgot to say it is from the 1980s. Could it be Heilge Dreifaltigkeit Mine, Germany? There are many pyromorphite mines in Germany!

Maybe comes closest: https://e-rocks.com/item/jwt584468/pyromorphite-baryte

Hi, for sure this is not Mibladen, and most probably even not Morocco. Can be from Germany or France.

Thanks Tomasz, Going to focus on Germany, as said maybe Heilge Dreifaltigkeit Mine or Schwarzwald.
