Rich group of galena crystals those show facets of the cube, octahedron and dodecahedron in the edges. Very bright and interpenetrated, with a good size. They are accompanied by small crystals of quartz and pyrite. Specimens from these classic mines are difficult to see today.

The town is located next to the mine shafts of El Guindo and La Manzana, which constituted two of the most important works in the area.
