Serpentinized lherzolites (peridotites) with antigorite mineralization.Also greenish (chlorite) talc formation occur after serpentinizacion by fractured hydrothermalized veins. Antigorite veins are between 1-3cm thick, presenting cross and ribbon fiber, asbestos series (antigorite-lizardite-serpentine). The mine is included inside the Sierra Alpujata massif.
