Information on Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum
Arizonans have been romancing the stones for
more than a century at colorfully named mines like the Copper
Queen, Sleeping Beauty, and Lucky Boy. Out of such mines have come
countless tons of copper, silver, and gold, as well as beautiful
minerals with tongue-twisting names. Chalcanthite, chalcoaluminate,
and chrysocolla are just some of the richly colored minerals on
display at this small downtown museum. Rather than playing up the
historical or profit-making side of the industry, exhibits focus on
the amazing variety of Arizona minerals. Displays have a dated
feel, but the beauty of the minerals themselves makes this an
interesting stop.
