Funny Slogan For Volleyball

Cantera Los Serranos and magnesite deposit (Albatera, Alicante)


warned last month in one of the forums was to leave mineralogical vacation the second half of July to Benidorm, and would be interested in going to bite somewhere, several colleagues offered to take me snacks, including Honorius, and later in July. Honorius I accepted the invitation and was to call him if I could approach the area of \u200b\u200bracer, also fell in July to call if taxes to Finestrat in search of the doubly terminated quartz, in the end, I could not go.
the end, I left a morning off to go to itch, and in advance, Honorio to be called somewhere to go for some rocks. Hondón stayed at the monks, and after giving me directions on how to get there, we agreed to be in a restaurant on the outskirts of town on Sunday 25 at 8 am.
At 7 am on that Sunday, we set off from Benidorm to the hollow of the friars, without loss journey racer to reach where we got up the mess a little pointless, but in the end, we learned to get the restaurant where we had been, although with some delay. After greeting and share several minutes of conversation, we set off towards the quarry "Los Serranos", located in the Black-Headed place in the municipality of racer. Quick Tour to take some pictures and know this mythical quarry which has gone very good pieces, since there was very little interest by the time taken without moving the field.
We went then to a deposit of magnesite. This site is located 1 km before arriving at the quarry "Los Serranos". In the Sierra de Crevillente is a cutting depth to get these copies, located in the ravine to the right of the road leading to the quarry above. In theory, the clearing is within the term of Orihuela but the outcrop crosses the boundaries of Orihuela and racer, making it difficult to place it in a single term.
Magnesitas that for some time were thought Pistomesitas by the amount of iron that has a different crystallization of this species that occurs in hexagonal crystals of a brown or black on a matrix of gypsum. We spent the rest of the short time available for chopping, and although the sun hit us squarely and without any shadow, there were two Magnesitas taking all morning.
At 11 and a half more or less abandoned the field to go to the restaurant where we had been in the morning, since there were to pick my parents. We got there quickly, take something and go, Honorius gave me a box of minerals from the area and thanked him and when I come back here to thank him publicly.
