[Rockhounds] Lima Mineral Market

[larryrush at att.net]

John: If you are referring to the miners who sold pyrite, et al, in the Lima park on Saturday nights, I have heard that they no longer do. No verification for that, just something I heard some time back. Evidently, it ended when the copper mines closed down. Quite a loss for collectors of fine Peruvian minerals!!

Subject: [Rockhounds] Lima Mineral Market

The Washington Post recently published a list of the top 50 restaurants in the world, and three of them are in Lima, Peru.  I rashly but happily made reservations to treat my wife to a trip to Lima to do these three (hopefully, we can get reservations!).  I went to Lima 20 years ago with a friend named Dick Dale, and he took me to a really cool mineral market in a really bad hood.  I don’t suppose anyone knows if it is still in existence and the address?
