San Timoteo-Humboldt Mines

Pico del Águila, Cartagena, Murcia, Spain

Part of a pair of mines, San Timoteo and Humboldt; often known as San Timoteo-Humboldt Mines.

This pair of mines produces fine gypsum and selenite crystals, usually very thin sprays of needle-like crystals.

I was not able to find a huge amount out about this site, perhaps a spanish speaker would have better luck.
