Cantera Llamas, Duyos, Filón Obdulia, Caravia, Zona minera de Caravia, Asturias, España
Former fluorite quarry in operation in the 70s which in its time offered some of the best specimens of Caravia mining district.
The gorgeous specimens labeled Llamas Quarry that appeared on the market as of 2010 come from a small outcrop discovered by chance when opening a forest road on private land not far from the former Llamas Quarry. Owners want to keep the exact location under secret to avoid intrusions, so specimens are labeled Llamas Quarry even not being from there.
