Name(s) in local language(s):
Mina El Potosí
All the rhodochrosite from the West Camp of the Santa Eulalia District comes from the Potosi Mine (Mina El Potosi) and except for some palid material from the A-10 or Inglaterra Orebody (NOT Condesa) all the good rhodochrosite from the district comes from the main silicate orebody which extends from between the 8th and 9th levels down to the 11th level of the Mine. Principal access to the orebody was on the 10th level.
The main silicate orebody is an unusual calcic-iron skarn body composed of a prograde assemblage of finely banded manganoan hedenbergite and manganoan fayalite that on retrograde alteration (hydration) was altered to chlorite (clinochlore and cronstedtite), quartz, ilvaite, and rhodochrosite. The retrograde event generated abundant voids into which rhodochrosite, fluorite, hübnerite, quartz and abundant rare species grew.
The rhodochrosite from this orebody shows a bewildering range of habits from pale pink botryoidal crusts (often on glassy hisingerite which gets misidentified as a wide range of species, including coal(!)), through simple rhombohedra to complex elongate scalenohedra with rhombohedral terminations. Typically, the more elongate habits are gemmier.
There are a number of other calcic-iron skarn bodies in the West Camp, but only the A-10/Inglaterra Orebody has any decently crystallized rhodochrosite
(Ref.: Panczner (1987): 150, 210, 220.)
NOTE: Panczner distinguishes between this mine and a Potosí mine at Aquiles Serdán. However, there is only one Potosi Mine at Santa Eulalia. It sits at the small miners' community of Francisco Portillo, which is more properly considered a neighborhood of the town of Aquiles Serdan (Formerly Santa Eulalia) which is the governmental seat of the Municipio of Aquiles Serdán. [pers. comm., Kevin Conroy, 2017].
Note: The correct name of the town seems to be Santo Domingo (Francisco Portillo) (see: https://www.micodigopostal.mx/chihuahua/aquiles-serdan/santo-domingo-francisco-portillo/) and the nearby town also still Santa Eulalia (see: https://en.mexico.pueblosamerica.com/chihuahua/aquiles-serdan/).
