In a building works in Cal Gairal street, in the Rocabruna village (Bruguers, Gavà), a few specimens of intense green variscite were found forming veins in grey slates. Unfortunately when we were able to access these works, the exact place where these specimens were extracted from had already been filled and covered with concrete. Variscite had not been found in the Bruguers area for many decades, let alone with this quality. X-ray diffraction results indicated the presence of crandallite. We recommend the recently published book: "Mines i minerals de la serra de les Ferreres. Les mines de Rocabruna, Bruguers, Gavà" (Catalan language).


Size: 7.8 x 6.5 x 5.7 cm.
Main crystal: 7.5 mm. veta/vein.
Found in 18/05/2022.
