Shimen Mine

The mine is the largest carbonate-hosted arsenic deposit in Asia and the largest realgar mine in China.

The deposit has been mined for more than 1,500 years and has produced approximately 1 million tonnes of ore (Zhu et al., 2015).

It is known for orpiment and realgar.

Recently, rare thallium sulfosalts in excellent specimens have been identified (Roth et al., 2017).
