When Bart linked up with Ardennes and began posting what he perceived as different characteristics of different veins it became popular to identify stones by veins. So if it isn't from Ardennes it is almost impossible to give it location based on the vein. AFAIK the only vintage stones identified by a particular mine were the aforementioned Old Rock and Deep Rock. Not sure if that was a vein, or the name of the mine.
