Mining History
Europe's mining history shaped human civilization. From the Roman Lead mining endevours to Germany's Erzgebirge mountains that yielded Silver which funded empires. A diverse continent with areas like the mountainous Alpine regions that produce exceptional crystals of Smoky Gwindel Quartz and sought-after pink Fluorite and the uplands and plains like Ukraine's khoroshiv Raoin- home to truly spectacular etched Heliodor Beryl crystals this continent has a lot to offer. Portugal's Panasqueira Mines are collectively one of the world's most significant Tungsten (Wolfram) mines and to the north, Norway- a world famous locality for the titanium Dioxide minerals species Anatase.
