This decades old famous silver-copper-lead-zinc mine has produced in excess of 80 different mineral species over the years with several new species coming to light in the last four years. It's home to one of the most complex mineral assemblages known in California. Specimens with bright green dioptase shown here are likely some of the best full or near full coverages to come from California. |
