Levane

Bucine, Arezzo Province, Tuscany, Italy

A small village in Tuscany, known in mineral collecting circles for small geodes containing aragonite and kutnohorite.

There is little else of mineralogical interest in this immediate area; the geodes are found in two areas of farmland near the village.

The nodules tend to be 1-5CM and have a thin shell. They are typically sold cracked, presumably to avoid selling solid rocks.
