Copper-lead mining cut in the Santa Rita Mountains.
A nice vein of secondary copper minerals, about 18" wide and 10" high.
Working the pocket for specimens. Photo courtesy of the Yeti.
Pulled out this nice plate of azurite (blue), malachite (green), chrysocolla (aqua), limonite (mustard yellow), hematite (dark brown), and quartz (brighter yellow). 8"x6"
The quartz occurs as tiny hexagonal crystals in the yellow-lined vugs. FOV=4"x2"
