LocalitiesCantabria, Spain

Hi,


I noticed that there seems to be an inconsistencie in the Cantabria page.

The mineral schalenblende is known from the Reocin mine and seems to occur in the La Florida mining area. Please see : http://www.mindat.org/loc-225890.html. But there is no mine in that area on Mindat who is listed to produce some schalenblende.


I think that the hierarchie of this locality is mixed up. This is perhaps why schalenblende appears twice in Cantabria.

I would say that it should be :


Spain

Cantabria

Sierra de Arnero

La florida mining area

Reocin.


But I don't know the mining area at all. So could one of our estimated Spanish friends take a look at this, please?

Thank you in advance.


Best regards from Belgium.

You could provide a link to this thread in the Spanish forum.

In the page indicated there is a link to http://www.foro-minerales.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5302 with the explanation. Appears a photo with "schalenblende" from "La Cuerre" but this variety is not in the list of this mine. They should have included all the minerals in "La Cuerre", but there is a mistake. Perhaps you can wrote to that forum.


Reocín is not in the same place. It's a different municipality and not in the area, but near. The tree in Mindat is right for these localities.

Paul.
