Limenaria, Thasos, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Greece
An ancient mining area working lead and zinc ores – worked since prehistoric times.
Showing the single result
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! 🙂
