No products were found matching your selection.
Mindat lists 24 mineral species from the site – many common, but some oddities too, like fibrous prixite, minium, and plumbotsumite.
The minerals found are primarily extracted from dumps on the site, and it is unclear as to whether any actual mine still exists.
The site was opened in 1785 and operated for about ten years, and was then sporadically operated for a few hundred years, until around 1963.
