There, a passionate local guide awaits you to reveal the secrets of this deposit of quartz, amethysts, agates and topazes, among other natural jewels. We will enter caves where you can see the stones in their pure state, and you will visit the mine workshop to learn about the extraction processes and craftsmanship.
