La Blanco Mine
Freirina, Huasco Province, Atacama, Chile
La Blanco Mine is the name given to a small cobalt-copper working near the town of Freirina.
Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much information on this site online. It is possible the information exists, but is in Spanish; I have tried searching for ‘mina La Blanco’ but didn’t find anything.
Several websites do seem to sell specimens from ‘Mina Blanca’ – it is possible there is some mistranslation here and Mina Blanca and Mina La Blanco are the same locale – or, simply, that this locale is mostly lost to time!
