Aroona Zinc Mine - 10km from Puttapa.
During personal discussions I had with the Puttapa on-site Geologist , ore mined
at Aroona was moved to Puttapa for processing. Consequently, specimens that were collected early on at Puttapa and
sold to American collectors could actually be from Aroona and are probably mislabeled. Aroona specimens I offer here were personally
collected at Aroona.
