There is a locality for massive dumorterite near the town that has been used for various lapidary purposes, like the manufacture of stone birds. In year 2015 an interesting deposit of axinite-(Mn) and epidote was discovered in the vicinity, in a mountainside outcrop, according to a known dealer who markets Peruvian minerals.
