Alsace
Essentially worked from Liepvrette valley, Neuenberg side for silver, this 16th century mine is known for the sphalerite crystals it produced.
At that time, zinc ore was not searched by miners so they only took the silver-bearing minerals and the rest was sent to the dump.
Until the 1980s some nice specimens could be collected but nothing recently.
This vein has been traced over a length of 500 m and a height of 120 m.
