I highly recommend looking through the ‘lapisphilosophorum’ and the ‘tomeik minerals’ sites linked below – a collection of phenomenal photos of micro-minerals from this site.
Mindat lists 49 minerals from the site, many of which are of interest to micromineral collectors – the jeremejevite from here is some of the best outside Namibia IMO.
The site is probably known locally and more recently as RPBL work Ochtendung.
