Mina Manuel Rodríguez


An old abandoned Cu mine.

During late May 2011, beautiful destinezite crystals have been found at this mine, ranking the best worldwide for this mineral.

Thank you to Dr. Tony Kampf LA County Museum, CA and Dr. Stuart Mills, Museum Victoria, Australia, for their work and identification of many of the species from this adit (M. Dini & A. Molina).

NOTE on the mineral list:
Recently, "kröhnkite" and "blödite" were reported to have been collected at a small pond approximately 2.7 km from the workings at Coronel Manuel Rodríguez Mine. They turned out to be salammoniac (coloured by inclusions of copper minerals) and lecontite, respectively (https://e-rocks.com/blogs/1/chilean-blues-update-find-coronel-manuel-rodriguez-mine).

However, subsequently (see https://www.mindat.org/mesg-105-464001.html, May 2019) the following information was provided by the Chilean mineral collector Alex Ibánez:
"This is toxic waste from mining company La Escondida. These wastes were formed in mining tailings and have been commercialized by unscrupulous people. Do not buy or sell this garbage."

This would agree with the opinion of Chile specialist Gerhard Möhn who wrote that the same anthropogenic material was being sold as coming from "Chuquicamata" (pers. comm. to Uwe Kolitsch).

Still later (see https://www.mindat.org/mesg-437964.html), the pond was clearly located on Google Maps; it is about 50 km from the Coronel Manuel Rodríguez mine. It strongly appears that the pond was used for ammonia leaching of copper ores.

The location page for the tailings pond is: https://www.mindat.org/loc-311511.html
