Name(s) in local language(s):
Cava Gabel (Cava Mantegazza; Cava Subalpina; Cava Bianchi), Cuasso al Monte, Valceresio (Val Ceresio), Provincia di Varese, Lombardia, Italia
Sioli quarry was the name of this quarry between the 1920s and the 1950s. Later, according to the owner's names, it changed the name to Bianchi quarry, Mantegazza quarry, and Subalpina quarry. It is nowadays known as Gebel quarry.
Small topaz crystals are found in association with arsenopyrite, muscovite, fluorite, and an argillous material in greisen veins that intersect the granophyric granite.
Warning: In very recent times some outstanding crystals of amethyst, a classic and highly sought mineral from the former Bianchi quarry (presently Gebel), attributed to an obscure find in the area of Cuasso al Monte, appeared on the market. Although these crystals, whose origin is Brandberg (Namibia), are very similar in morphology and habit to the authentic ones, some features (constant absence of dull faces, high abundance of double-terminated crystals, absence among the associated minerals of pink orthoclase, fluorite, dolomite and siderite, etc.) allow distinguishing them from those of Cuasso al Monte (Guastoni & Gentile, 2016).
Details about the above-mentioned disputed finding has been published recently in LAPIS, therefore certifying the provenance of the depicted amethyst crystals to be effectively the Gebel Quarry.
