Campo alle Buche, Campiglia Marittima, Provincia di Livorno, Toscana, Italia
Campo alle Buche (literally "field with holes") is an old mining area, located at the SW foot of Monte Rombolo, which has been exploited by both underground and open-pit mine workings in the 19th and early 20th century, although there is evidence of older (Etruscan?) mining activity.
The exploited mineralised lithotype consists of alternating bands of laminated Fe minerals (mainly goethite, hematite, siderite ± pyrite, chlorite) with sparry calcite crystals in carbonate gangue. After the discovery of cassiterite in 1876 at Monte Valerio, hematite-limonite mineralisation with zoned masses of cerussite and minor cassiterite was also observed here in an ancient excavation (Blanchard, 1878; Lotti, 1900).
At Campo alle Buche cassiterite is present in selvages or it is disseminated in limonite. According to Bertolani (1958), skarn sulphide mineralisation occurs at some depth below the calcite-iron oxyhydroxides mineralisation. According to Dini et al. (2013), the primary ore mineralisation, containing arsenopyrite, pyrite, cassiterite, etc. is part of a Sn-W-As-Bi belt (Monte Valerio-Santa Caterina-Campo alle Buche) developed along the western side of the buried monzogranite intrusion of Botro ai Marmi. The masses of Fe and As sulphides in dolomite marble are often deeply altered in Fe-oxyhydroxides and arsenates (adamite, arseniosiderite, scorodite, etc.).
