Gypsum-Anhydrite, Copper, Gold, Mercury occurrence · Puerto Rico
discovered 1957
Drawn as a mineral occurrence: a place where a geologist noted the mineral, with no mining recorded. The ore color stands for gypsum-anhydrite, copper, gold, mercury. Federal records note the kind of operation and its status, not its depth or layout, so this is a typical example rather than a survey of this site.
