Miniera di Buca dell'Angina, Sant'Anna di Stazzema, Stazzema, Alpi Apuane, Lucca, Toscana, Italia
Cu-Ag-Au deposit hosted in the Grezzoni formation of the Sant'Anna tectonic window.
The mineralization is represented by quartz-baryte-fluorite veins with tetrahedrite disseminations.
Tetrahedrite is rich in Hg and Au (up to 48 g/ton, according to old authors).
This locality is famous for the big crystals of geocronite found in the 19th century (even if these crystals probably came from the nearby Pollone mine).
