Lots of boulders of gneiss and amphibolitic gneiss, sometimes bearing dykes of pegmatite are spread in the woods around the small grassy plane (clearing) called Piano del Lavonchio or Pian dei Lavonchi. These boulders were extensively mined in the early years of the XX century for large beryl crystals, leading to the discovery of some interesting Nb-Ta-REE minerals, including the rare tanteuxenite. Fragments of these boulders were intensively dug again by collectors mostly starting from the late 1960s resulting in the discovery of an exceptional group of centimetric crystals of tanteuxenite. Other sub-localities are along the bank of the nearby Rio Vasca, as boulders and maybe in situ veins, but please note that any occurrence of tanteuxenite out of the "classical finds" is to be considered unconfirmed without analytical support.
