Name(s) in local language(s):

Miniera di Paglio Pignolino, Dossena, Val Brembana, Bergamo, Lombardia, Italia

Abandoned Pb-Zn mine (now used as a motocross area).
Mineralisation is similar to that of the Zorzone mine.

Note on the mineral list: The reported species freieslebenite and owyheeite are highly questionable - more recent analyses of Italo Campostrini (Milano University) demonstrate that the material is boulangerite. See message and spectrum measured by Italo Campostrini at the following AMI Forum page: http://forum.amiminerals.it/viewtopic.php?t=1130
