An area with several mercury mines (of which the Selvena mining district is part).
The first find (together with that on Mt. Cimino) of grandidierite, in a hornfels xenolith.
Note: The Middle Pleistocene (304-230 ka) Monte Amiata volcanic complex and the surrounding Monte Amiata mining district straddle the border between Siena and Grosseto Provinces. The eastern flank is in Siena Province ( https://www.mindat.org/loc-53078.html ), whereas the western flank is in Grosseto Province ( https://www.mindat.org/loc-59201.html ).
