   Wanda (A place full of semi-precious stones mine which can be seen among the rocks)


Visit to the "Yacimiento de Piedras Semi Preciosas" (fiels of semi-precious stones): Hundred years ago, in this region, the lava out cropped through the fissures of the earth. Those runnings of incandescent materials appeared with such a pressure that they made bubbles. A quick cooling created the crystals in their innards, all of them in pyramidal hexagonal shapes made of amethyst quartz and agates which are used in jewelwry business.

semi-precious stones

"Wanda" has a mine in the open air from where geodes and solidified bubbles are taken out. Thirty people work there and half of them are mine operators. Some objects with incrustations of these stones, necklaces, pendants and earings are sold there.
