Imiter Mine

Mindat lists 66 mineral species from the site – one for which it is the type locality – imiterite. Not something I’d heard of before, it is a silver-mercury sulphate mineral.

The silver ore is apparently of especially high quality, with native silver wire being relatively well known from the site.

Silver and cobalt minerals are the more interesting species found, including (in my lowly opinion), some of the worlds best proustite micro specimens.
