JFD213AP6: The Jaimina Mine was not always a mine. It began as a quarry and from those initial years comes this piece that Jaime Chacón found in 1978 on the working face, as witnessed by his handwritten label. The piece is slightly different from the mine ones, with a more intense color and a hexahedral pattern on the faces that is richer than usual in the Jaimina Mine specimens, strongly reminiscent of its predecessors, the San Lino Mine fluorites, albeit with better quality. A historical piece, precursor of what later became the splendor of the Emilio-Jaimina mining system.
