Neufinkenstein-Grabanz mining district

Mallestiger Mittagskogel, Finkenstein am Faaker See, Villach-Land District, Carinthia, Austria

Small dump and outcrops, best known for micro minerals.

There isn’t too much information available, at least in English.

Mindat lists 70ish minerals from the site, and it is the type locality for one, mallestigite.

There are a number of interesting copper and zinc minerals found at the site – primarily of interest to micro mineral collectors.
