StandardDetailedBy ChemistryMineral Photos (8)Search Google

Sometimes appears on labels as "Shinshiro mine" or "Yoshikawa mine". The true Yoshikawa mine is another locality in the same city. Copper and nickel minerals in a serpentinized gabbro that was worked for copper for only 3 months in 1953. Very dangerous, long-abandoned quarry with overhanging ledges of unstable fractured rock.
