High-temperature wolframite veins, eg: Tres Hermanos vein. Mine is located on border of Murillo and Sud Yungas provinces. Produces excellent samples of blue, green and white fluorite cubes to 2cm size on wolframite crystals up to 10cm size, penetrated by quartz crystals, but almost none of these are saved as specimens and almost all end up in the crusher.
