Agnola, Carro, La Spezia, Liguria, Italia

In many areas of Carro Municipality (La Spezia Province) there are serpentinites crossed by veins essentially composed by brucite. This is one of the most evident. There are also rodingitic veins.

Anzaite-(Ce), baddeleyite, brucite, chlorite group, edenite, ilmenite, lizardite, titanite, zircon and zirconolite from the Agnola stream (Bracco ophiolitic body).
