Las Manforas Mine (Aliva Mine), Camaleño, Cantabria, Spain
This locality is world-famous for its specimens of transparent sphalerite in several different colours. The locality is often labelled as "Picos de Europa, Santander" - "Picos de Europa" being rather vague, since those mountains cover bits of three different Autonomous Regions and several municipalities, and "Santander" being just an obsolete name for Cantabria.
