Amelia Mine

Arroyo de la Soledad, Boleo District, Santa Rosalía, Mulegé Municipality, Baja California Sur, Mexico

A former mine famous for producing mineral specimens of boleite and cumengeite.

Mindat lists 14 minerals from the site, with particular interest coming to the boleite, cumengeite, paratacamite, and pseudoboleite found.

The site is apparently ‘mined out’, with minor crystals sometimes still found on the dumps.

The ‘star’ cumengeite are considered the most desirable – many are in museums and collections worldwide.
