Crevoladossola quarry, Crevoladossola, Ossola Valley, Verbano-Cusio-Ossola Province, Piedmont, Italy

(Cava di Crevoladossola, Crevoladossola, Val d'Ossola, Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, Piemonte, Italia)

The saccaroid dolomite from Crevola d'Ossola is very interesting for the many mineral species that have been found. It is also interesting for some analogies with the most famous dolomitic occurrences of Binntal in Switzerland.
