Name(s) in local language(s):

Miniera di Pereta, Pereta, Scansano, Grosseto, Toscana, Italia

The mine is named after the village of Pereta in the neighbouring municipality of Magliano in Toscana.

An abandoned antimony mine. The type locality for peretaite and the co-type locality for coquandite.

The antimony ore is of epithermal origin, hosted in a brecciated and silicified limestone.

Geographical coordinates (lat. 42°38'35.99"N, long. 11°21'28.05"E) refer to the second (formerly more prospective) open pit, now almost completely filled by vegetation. (From an in situ visit, re-checked on satellite images with Google Earth).
