Cerro Patillas
Fuentes de Ebro, Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain
Several quarries exist in this area, sometimes called Cerro Patillas or Monte Patillas. The quarries exploit alabaster, a fine grained form of gypsum.
Along with the alabaster, world class gypsum crystals can be found at the site including selenite and (less commonly) satin spar.
