Home to, in my opinion, some of the best calcite and galena clusters I’ve seen so far.
The mine is listed as producing 23 mineral specimens, including fine djurleite and siegenite and some uncommon minerals like anilite, covellite, digenite, vaesite, polydymite.
Mindat has a good writeup of the site.
