Chrysocolla, Wulfenite, Mottramite

Locality: J.C. Holmes Mine (J.C. Holmes claims), Temporal Gulch area, Patagonia, Wrightson District, Santa Rita Mts, Santa Cruz Co., Arizona, USA

5.5x6 cm specimen found on the dumps at the jc holmes mine next to the portal of a tunnel that was driven about 45 feet into the side of the mountain. I went into the tunnel and found no sign of any mineralazation. This is the only specimen of Chrysocolla found at the site . The trip to the mine was put together on Mindat by several "mindatters" including Joylon. Very fun day.
