Vouves

Limenaria, Thasos, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Greece

An ancient mining area working lead and zinc ores – worked since prehistoric times.

Mindat lists 18 minerals from the site, primarily lead, zinc and copper ore minerals.

The site isn’t the easiest to research, unfortunately. Most of the information I could find online was about some historic olive trees on the site, which was very interesting but not too relevant! 🙂
