Garpenberg, Hedemora, Dalarna, Sweden

Photo:
Garpenberg's mineral deposits were mined as early as in the 13th century, and are still active.
A metamorphosed, strata-bound Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag sulfide deposit intercalated in an early Proterozoic supracrustal sequence of felsic metavolcanics and metasedimentary rocks, which have subsequently been folded, metamorphosed, and intruded by synorogenic granitoids.
