Lead mine 40 km south of the town Vaasa.
This place is totally closed and there are just some stones left. To visit the old mine area you have to ask permission from the local city office.
From Prof. Sahama's 1965 paper: On the -190m level in the mine, a tunnel crossed a large cavity filled with water under pressure. The width of the cavity measured 1.5 m and the total visible length was 30 m. The walls of the cavity were covered by crystals of beautifully honey-yellow apophyllite, with to greyish harmotome, yellow calcite, some pyrite cubes, and a few flesh-red prisms of apatite. Later on, smaller and less spectacular cavities were found in the mine with a mineral content similar to that of the large cavity mentioned.
