Abandoned Cu mine (formerly called La Colorada mine).
Some fine clinoclase crystals were found associated with tiny emerald green bright crystals of philipsburgite (for EDS spectrum see https://www.mindat.org/photo-1215482.html).

(Special thanks must be given to Dr. Jochen Schluter, Curator of Hamburg mineral Museum in Germany, whom has properly identified the minerals from this locality, and to Dr. Hubert Putz for his contribution for studying several other species from this location.)

Coordinates are for the city by that name.
