Name(s) in local language(s):

Grube Gelbe Birke, Beierfeld, Grünhain-Beierfeld, Revier Schwarzenberg, Erzgebirge, Sachsen, Deutschland

Skarn deposit mined for silver (early 18th century) and other sulphides, cassiterite and later fluorite, limestone and mineral specimens.
Famous for greenish octahedral fluorite crystals, in part with violet tips, also scheelite and several secondary minerals.

Adit, Alexander shaft, Kalk shaft and Hermann shaft.

Located southeast of Beierfeld.

According to Witzke (2021), all "wulfenites" are stolzites (see https://www.mineralienatlas.de/?l=3377 reference Wulfenite).
