Deliciosas Claim
Name(s) in local language(s):
Mina las Delicias, El Rodeo, Baja California Norte, Mexico
A gemstone and specimen mine in pegmatite. Active in early 1972 under the supervision of Bill Larson and John McLean, perhaps under the banner of Pala International. More details may be forthcoming of earlier and later periods.
The mine has developed as a single pit in one of several parallel, NE-SW trending pegmatites that are well-exposed in a plateau west of the Rancho Los Pocitos area. The plateau is deeply dissected by some deep, structurally-controlled canyons which join the generally westward-trending drainage in the area. Many of the pegmatite bodies are exposed in the canyons. The Socorro Claim is in this same geographic and petrologic locale, and according to Sinkankas (1964), is semi-contiguous with the Pino Solo locale to the Northwest.
