Fluor and lead vein
Location :
In Colmenar del Arroyo, In the West of the madrid Community. In the North of the town, past the Enebro.
As the cleanings are on a private property, you’ve to ask in the village for the landlord of the parcel (city hall or library).
Geological context :
The deposit is a fluorite vein, with galena.
Works :
Worked until an unknown date to the 70s.
I have not found information about this mine, but there seems to be a principal pit with some extensions.
Clearings follow a NE / SW axis, and have been moved recently.
Mineralization
Crystallized pink and yellow fluorite sometimes with phantoms. Galena is found massive and in grains in the matrix.
