CuFeS2
  -  0.

A very aesthetic specimen composed of numerous brilliant, tetrahedral chalcopyrite crystals. They are accompanied by sphalerite crystals. Particularly notable are some partially corroded hexagonal fluorapatite crystals, which fluoresce under UV-OL light. A brilliant specimen for magnification.

A mine in the southern part of the Huarón district, although not operated by the same company that works other Huarón area mines. "Alimon" mine is a misnomer sometimes encountered in the literature. Primarily hydrothermal Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag vein deposits. Located 3 km SSW of the Huarón mine.
