The Piancastagnaio geothermal field (Mt. Amiata geothermal area) is used to generate electricity in some power plants. The CO2-rich geothermal fluids produced in the Piancastagnaio geothermal field show temperatures up to 360°C and pressures of about 200 bar at depths of around 3,500 m. CaCO3- and/or SiO2-dominated scales are deposited in the pipes leading to the pressure and atmospheric separators of the geothermal wells. High content of metastibnite and/or stibnite in both calcite and silica scales and Sb contents of up to 50 mg/l in the fluids indicate their mineralising potential. The red or black colours of the scales depend on the predominance of red metastibnite or black stibnite, respectively (Morteani et al., 2010).
