Cava Pescina (Cava Pescina A), Bacino estrattivo di Pescina-Boccanaglia, Carrara, Provincia di Massa-Carrara (Provincia di Massa e Carrara), Toscana, Italia
Marble quarry along Fosso di Pescina.
The Pescina quarrying area properly consists of two quarries: Pescina A or Quarry No. 13 (Fosso di Pescina right side - see coordinates) and Pescina B (Fosso di Pescina left side - coordinates: 44°6'1''N, 10°6'24''E). However, Pescina B, due to the vicinity of the Ruggetta (A and B) and Crestola (B and C) quarries, is usually considered part of the Torano quarrying basin.
