The Nakaye Mine in the Derry District, Sierra County,
New Mexico, is known for producing high-grade,
sugary to coarsely crystalline fluorite (often pale green,
brown, white, or dark blue/purple) associated with barite
and quartz. Active primarily between 1920–1952, this mine
is a significant replacement deposit within the limestone of
the Nakaye Formation.
