The Freiberg mining district was once one of the most important sites for silver and silver minerals. However, a large proportion of the silver was extracted from silver-bearing galena.
The Freiberg mining district is very large, with many mines bearing well-known names such as “Himmelsfürst”, “Beihilfe” or “Reiche Zeche”. One of these names is the “Churprinz Mine” in the north of the mining district.
The very beautiful galena comes from this mine. It was part of a well-known Viennese collection, the label is enclosed. Freiberg minerals are among the classics and are highly sought after by collectors.
