From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fregeneda–Almendra pegmatitic field is a geologic area in the Iberian Peninsula extending across the Portuguese district of Guarda and the Spanish province of Salamanca. Part of the Central Iberian Zone [es],[1] it is located in the western part of a narrow E–W metamorphic belt.[2] It consists of a variety of granitic pegmatites, where some rocks are rich in lithium. The Li minerals include spodumene, petalite, lithian muscovite and montebrasite.[3]
