Identity HelpHelp with German locality: "Grube Wilhelm bei Niederhövels, Siegerland"
19th Dec 2018 10:18 UTCVik Vanrusselt Expert
I'm adding/editing data on Mindat based on information I can find in the books and magazines I own.
Right now, I'm reading "Lieber, W. (1977) Charakteristisch oder bedeutungslos? Die Farbe von Mineralien. Mineralien-Magazin, 1, 17-23."
On page 17, there is a picture of "malachite crystals on brown limonite" from the "Grube Wilhelm bei Niederhövels, Siegerland".
The "Wilhelm mine" (or quarry?) is not included here: https://www.mindat.org/loc-276178.html
Mineralienatlas.de does not include it either, but does list malachite at Niederhövels in general: https://www.mineralienatlas.de/lexikon/index.php/Deutschland/Rheinland-Pfalz/Altenkirchen%20%28Westerwald%29%2C%20Kreis/Wissen/Niederh%C3%B6vels
Is there (or was there ever) a "Wilhelm mine/quarry" in the area that should be listed on Mindat?
Thank you all,
Vik

mentions a "Grube Wilhelmsberg" near Niederhövels. This mine and other mines were merged with the Friedrich mine.
