Name(s) in local language(s): Mina Armonía
According to Clark (1974), who studied material from dumps of the "Canizal Alto copper camp", the "cobalt rich minerals were emplaced as narrow (1-12 mm) veins in altered diorite country rock, and are now preserved largely as fragments in late stage calcite-ankerite vein material".
Clark also stated the presence of jordisite. According to him: "the Jordisite and less problably molybdenite, may have formed under superegene conditions".
