Hi. Does anyone know where it is possible to mine a little olivine on Tenerife island?
One of my Russian friends (non English speaking as usual))) is going there and looking for this information. And not only olivine, maybe other mineral localities ?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Also, we will be glad to help everybody regarding mineralogy in Russia, especially in the Ural region. |

Hi Acc!
Mining in the Canarian should be forbidden or at least strictly limited. However, olivine as well as hornblende and other minerals of volcanic origin are not so difficult to find and can be picked up without using any tools. But you have to keep in mind that the Canarian Island are a national park according to the Spanish laws. Greetings from Italy by Riccardo.

Grazie Riccardo!
Well, we are no stranger to that, as all Russia is a big national park. Simple mining is also prohibited here, in accordance with our "wonderfull" legislation. That's why Russian specimens are quite rare. |

Thanks Josele. Sometimes mindat localities are not timely. It would be good if somebody could give real localities for this moment. |
