Many years ago I read an article about gem hunting around a mine in the Mending area in Germany, now I'm retired I'd really like to visit the area to see if I can collect some specimens from a mining area, I've had a search and can't find any details at all, has anyone been there or have any knowledge of mines where I could visit to try and collect some specimens?

Here is a link to the Mindat entry.

https://www.mindat.org/min-1833.html

Way down on the bottom it has links to the occurrences around Mendig, Germany. Can't find a "Mending".
