(Grube Eupel (einschl. Grube Glücksstern; Grube Rasselskaute), Niederhövels, Wissen, Siegerland, Rheinland-Pfalz, Deutschland)

The mine consists of three sections: Glücksstern Mine, Rasselskaute Mine and the former Eupel Mine. They initially started work independently on the same orebody, but became more and more interconnected and were eventually amalgamated into one consolidated mine.

The mine is famous for its large cream-coloured dolomites, and aesthetic combinations of these with pyrite and/or chalcopyrite.
