Improving Mindat.orgLigier Marble Quarries, Dragoon, Arizona

13th Jul 2016 23:20 UTCRolf Luetcke Expert

I was doing some research on the Ligier Marble Quarries in Dragoon, Cochise County Arizona and while looking at the page on mindat I saw that there were no photos of the marble from here on the page for the site. I knew I had uploaded a couple of photos but they remain in my user gallery.

I tried to add marble to the list but it wouldn't accept it. I know it is a rock but since that is what was mined here it seems odd that there are no photos of the product that was mined.

Is there a particular reason for this?

Rolf,


Marble is a rock, mostly consisting of calcite (sometimes also dolomite). But you can add photo's of the marble in 2 ways: either as an "other category" photo, or as part of a view of the mine.

Erik,

Yes, I had thought of this. I guess I will just put it on the page under the mine and not the rock type.

I just thought it a bit funny to have a quarry where the product is marble and not being able to put marble on the list but it is a rock so I do understand it opens a whole can of worms.
