Cava del Monte Brugiana (Cava Brugiana sud-ovest; Cava del Monte Brugiana sud-ovest), Massa, Provincia di Massa-Carrara (Provincia di Massa e Carrara), Toscana, Italia
Abandoned marble quarry located on the south-west flank of Monte Brugiana. Another quarry (Fossa Combratta quarry), presently in operation, is located on the north flank of the mountain (Carrara municipality).
Monte Brugiana marbles belong to the Triassic Massa Unit and differ from the most famous Liassic Carrara marbles of the Apuan ("Autochthon Auctt.") Unit, that are quarried in the Carrione stream basin (Carrara) and Frigido stream basin (Massa), north and east of Monte Brugiana respectively. Marbles from Monte Brugiana, originally crinoidal limestones with intercalated clay levels, show an ivory-white to greenish-white colour with abundant disseminated muscovite and a coarse carbonate texture. These marbles, characterised by the presence of greenish boudined levels of chlorite, are commercially known as "Verdello" and "Broccatello".
First reports of chalcopyrite by Di Giovanni (1981) as occurrence of rare veinlets within masses of marbles and bisphenoidal crystals up to 1 cm in size within the cavities.
Colusite occurs as shapeless millimetric masses.
