In the 18th and 19th century, mining for iron (hematite) occurred in two districts:

1. The main district, often called the Eine district (because the water adit goes to the Eine river). Selenides are much rarer here than in the second district.

2. The new district, better known as the Eskaborn district, named after the hill "Eskaborner Berg" (this is not a mistake: Eskaborner, not Eskeborner as in Eskebornite). This is the main locality for the selenide paragenesis. All minerals listed below are found here, some of them in the main district as well.

The selenide mineralisation took place below 112 °C, the maximum temperature stability of umangite [Cu3Se2] (Lohmeier et al., 2023).
