A Cu-Pb-Zn-Au-Ag occurrence/mine located 4 miles north of Salida, discovered in the early 1880s and worked intermittently until 1923. The Sedalia was the largest copper mine in Colorado, producing also zinc and a bit of gold and silver.

The primary target ore mainly consisted of limonite, malachite, cuprite, chalcocite with lesser sphalerite, cerussite, and galena. Other zones contain up to 10% magnetite and 20% sphalerite. The zinc spinel gahnite is common.

Lindgren (1908) first described the deposit as a series of schists intruded by gabbro and pegmatite, the rocks metamorphosed to sillimanite grade. Boardman (1971 and 1976) described the rocks similarly but added that the rocks constituted a skarn, formed by recrystallization and metasomatism of amphibolites and micaceous schists and gneisses. He described a number of rock types, dominated by a quartz-biotite rock with varying amounts of sillimanite, garnet, andalusite, and cordierite. Less volumes of rocks included the assemblages actinolite-talc-chlorite; gedrite-garnet-cordierite; anthophyllite-cordierite-quartz-biotite; tremolite-zoisite; hornblende-epidote-plagioclase-garnet. Heyl (1963) described a thick bed of actinolite schist containing lead and zinc minerals. Sheridan and Raymond (1984), carefully mapping the diverse geologic units in the area of the Sedalia Mine, interpreted the geology as a sequence of submarine volcanic, volcaniclastic and sedimentary beds, intruded by magmas ranging from basalt to granitic pegmatite. The deposit itself was interpreted as an exhalative volcanogenic body, a type well known in Precambrian terrains in Canada and Australia. Strongly folded and metamorphosed to the amphibolite facies, the strataform deposit has developed a complex mineralogy.

The Sedalia Mine is well known among mineral collectors as a source for good specimens, particularly the large, euhedral almandine garnets weighing up to fifteen pounds and their pseudomorphs (Penfield & Sperry, 1886; Voynick, 1994; and other authors). In the old public and private collections the locality for these specimens is often indicated as Salida.

Note: The Sedalia Mine is often considered a part of the Turret mining district, which lies in southeastern Chaffee County, about ten miles north of Salida, and where the metamorphosed sulfide deposits also occur in Precambrian rocks. However, rather than combine all them because of similar geology, it would be better to maintain the geographic distinction.
