Tanno pegmatite

Name(s) in local language(s):

Tanno, Chiavenna, Valchiavenna, Sondrio, Lombardia, Italia

Several LCT pegmatite and aplite dykes cropping out near Tanno, SE of Chiavenna.

Location is approximate, based on satellite imagery and topo maps. Search area is in the woods, on boulders fallen from a huge adjacent rock-cliff (with visible pegmatite veins), both above and below the path going to Lotteno.
