JFD60AN9: In the La Viesca area there is not only the La Viesca Mine itself but also other ore deposits that at different times have been yielding specimens. The one that, in my opinion, was the most interesting was the quarry that the locals called the 'filón capa'. It was an open pit farther north than the La Viesca mine, close to the town of Fresnedo, and although only worked for a short time, exceptional pieces came from there, some with a very intense color, like this one.
