Hello folks,

I just picked up an azurite from the Phillips Dodge Mine, Morenci, Arizona. I can't seem to find it on Mindat. Is anyone familiar with the locality?

Thanks,
Jen

Hi Jennifer,

Alternate name for the locality. Morenci Mine (Morenci pit; Phelps Dodge Morenci Mine; Morenci-Metcalf), Morenci, Copper Mountain District (Clifton-Morenci District), Shannon Mts, Greenlee Co., Arizona, USA

Thanks Ron!

The only reference I was able to find was from 1967 saying it was a huge copper mine. Figured it must go by a different name.
