The Ojuela Mine is located at the base of the northeast escarpment of the Sierra de Mapimi, about five miles southeast of the town of Mapimi, Durango. It is one of Mexico's largest mines, and one may spend weeks travelling underground without revisiting the same spot. The mine has been worked to shallow depths for rich secondary silver ores since 1600.
Clustered on a limonitic matrix sits a lustrous and abrasion free example of calcite! Striking shine contrasts the dark brown limonite. An excellent example from this famous Mexico locality
