Mount Agruxiau
Iglesiente, south-western Sardinia, Italy
Mississippi Valley TypeZn-Pb
- Type
- Zn-Pb in Cambrian carbonates, oxidised to calamine
Mine near Bindua (Iglesias), known for "rice grain" smithsonite in red earthy calamine. Supergene smithsonite formed from meteoric waters at about 20 to 35 °C (Boni et al., 2003); light carbon inherited from soil and vegetation. Indicative coordinates.
