Amelia Mine, Arroyo de la Soledad, Boleo District, Santa Rosalía, Mulegé Municipality, Baja California Sur, Mexico

A euhedral twinned cumengeite, 1cm in length. Self collected in mid 1990's. Please forgive the first attempts to post pictures on Mindat. Will replace in future.

JWJ-DAMCumengeite Pb₂₁Cu₂₀Cl₄₂(OH)₄₀·6H₂O

Amelia Mine, Arroyo de la Soledad, Boleo District, Santa Rosalía, Mulegé Municipality, Baja California Sur, Mexico

This complete cumengeite sixling growing over boleite is 7.5mm. It was dug in the mid 1990's by my husband or myself. As with my cerussite photos from this locality, I will replace the photos as better ones are available.

68U-VJ1Cerussite PbCO₃

Amelia Mine, Arroyo de la Soledad, Boleo District, Santa Rosalía, Mulegé Municipality, Baja California Sur, Mexico

I'll replace the photo when I get a better quality one. This is the reverse side of photo 221245. The black material inside is possibly manganese/?cryptomelane. There are also some green micro-crystals inside that are possibly paratacamite. Size as shown.

MK0-DUQCerussite PbCO₃

Amelia Mine, Arroyo de la Soledad, Boleo District, Santa Rosalía, Mulegé Municipality, Baja California Sur, Mexico

I will replace these photos when I get a better camera. For now I want to get them on Mindat because of their uniqueness among specimens known from the Boleo mining district--I'm not sure any other cerussites from there have been documented. These were self-collected around 1994. The specimen on the left measures 1.5cm by 1cm by 1cm high. The right twinned crystal is 2cm by 1.25cm by 0.8cm high.
