Locality: Mina la Aurora, Charcas, San Luis Potosí, Mexico
Description: These pieces pair two minerals from the Aurora mine at Charcas, San Luis Potosí: clear danburite, a calcium borosilicate, with aragonite, a calcium carbonate. Charcas has been a mining town since silver was discovered there in 1583, and today Aurora is one of several mines in the district run by Industrial Minera México.
The ores at Charcas formed in a skarn, the zone where hot fluids from intruding magma reacted with limestone. Danburite formed in this skarn alongside the zinc, lead, silver and copper ores. Danburite is recorded from at least six Charcas mines.
Danburite takes its name from Danbury, Connecticut, where it was first described in 1839.
These pieces show clear danburite crystals with aragonite, in small and large sizes.
In crystal traditions, danburite is associated with emotional balance and aragonite with grounding.
