Friedrichssegen Mine

Friedrichssegen Mine was extremely prolific, producing over 180 mineral species, as the type locality for two species – hanauerite and lahnsteinite.

A range of fine specimens were found at the site, including azurite, brochantite, cerussite, native copper and silver, cuprite, dolomite, galena, gersdorffite, malachite, pyromorphite, ramsbeckite and sphalerite – and lots of other ore minerals, of course.

The mine appears to be sealed with a steel grate; whether access is permitted to collectors via mineral groups I’m afraid I don’t know – all of the specimens I have seen from this locale were from older collections.
