Miniera del Pollone, Valdicastello Carducci, Pietrasanta, Alpi Apuane, Lucca, Toscana, Italia


The Ba-Fe deposits of this area, including the Pollone mine, are located on the southern edge of a tectonic window called "S. Anna Window".

Note on the mineral list:

Many of the well known supposed "geocronite" crystals from here have turned out on more recent analyses to bejordanite.Analyses is needed to determine the exact species of each individual specimen.

See Biagioni, C., Dini, A., Orlandi, P., Moëlo, Y., Pasero, M., Zaccarini, F. (2016) Lead-antimony sulphosalts from Tuscany (Italy). XX. Members of the jordanite-geocronite series from the Pollone mine, Valdicastello-Carducci: Occurrence and crystal structures. Minerals, 6, 15.) (Confirmed by independent analyses by Frank Keutsch.)
