Minor tennantite (Fe:Zn variable, but most samples were Fe-dominant) mineralisation in dolomite, which was mined for some time.
Nowadays, a short adit, surface workings and remnants of small dumps remain.
Two further adits are also known; one is closed and used as a water source, the other is accessible, but seemingly sterile.
Known for micromount-sized specimens of azurite (nice crystals) and malachite.
Notes on the mineral list: Kolitsch et al. (2018) describe several, as yet unidentified, fine-grained copper arsenates and arsenate-sulphates(-carbonates?) that formed as alteration products of the tennantite (observed only in polished sections).
