Grube Friedrichssegen, Frücht, Revier Bad Ems, Lahntal, Rheinland-Pfalz, Deutschland

Abandoned lead mine, closed in 1913, working siderite-quartz veins bearing a suite of Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag minerals hosted by Lower Devonian schists.

Located near Frücht, about 4.5 km SW of Bad Ems.

Note on the mineral list: Möhn et al. (2009) also mention an unidentified "copper-zinc carbonate", which contains also arsenate and sulphate, but is "practically X-ray amorphous". All studied calumetite samples turned out to be this mineral.
