THE FENGJIASHAN MINE Daye District, Ezhou Prefecture, Hubei Province, China

摘要

The Fengjiashan mine, also known as the Daye mine, is famous among mineralogists and mineral collectors as the type locality for hubeite and the source of some of the world's best crystallized inesite. Opened as a copper mine in 1966, it became unprofitable and was converted to a wollastonite mine in the early 1980's. Quartz, scheelite, apophyllite and other species of collector interest have been found there as well.
