Erque

Vallehermoso, La Gomera, Santa Cruz de Tenerife Province, Canary Islands, Spain

Roadside outcrop rich in Augite crystals. Popular amongst mineral collectors.

There isn’t too much to say about this locale, really – it is a roadside outcrop that is well known for Augite crystals.

Popular amongst collectors at one point – whether or not there is still access, or if the site is ‘worked out’ I’m afraid I don’t know.
