A copper mine in Zechstein kupferschiefers (1961-1968).
Notes on the mineral list:
- So-called "marcasite" crystals encrusting baryte specimens are actually octahedral pyrite microcrystals, see: https://www.mindat.org/photo-1423229.html
- "geminite" from this site was initially wrongly identified by mistaking its reflections with those of rapidcreekite. The "geminite" is actually a potentially new Ca-Cu(Ni,Co) arsenate (Kruszewski et al. 2020).
