Ajo

Ajo

The Ajo Pit produced a large amount of minerals when it was active. Some people say that the best specimens of native copper came from Ajo . Sometimes the crystals of copper were found encased in calcite. The protective calcite was etched away to expose the undamaged crystals of copper. Some other gems found in Ajo include: azurite, chrysocolla, and malachite. The hills around Ajo are line with prospects and idle mines. Be sure to check these dumps for a variety of specimens.
