Km-3 Mine, Lavrion Mines, Lavrion (Laurion; Laurium), Lavrion District Mines, Lavrion (Laurion; Laurium) District, Attikí (Attica; Attika) Prefecture, Greece

A small ancient mine working a Ni deposit west of the town of Lavrion, situated close to the "Km 3" milepost on the road from the town of Lavrion to the village of Agios Konstantinos (formerly Kamareza), around 2.5 km from each.

One of the most famous localities within the Lavrion district, known for the world's best annabergite specimens, with bright green crystals reaching 1 cm. Most well-crystallized specimens are the Mg-rich variety termed "cabrerite" (obsolete name), showing bright apple-green color.
Specimens can still be found in the dumps.

Notes on the mineral list:
Specimens of "glaukosphaerite" from this locality which have been fully analyzed have turned out to be rosasite. It is in doubt whether or not glaukosphaerite actually occurs here.
