| Abstract/Notes | This article aims to retrieve the history of Santa Blandina’s remarkable copper deposit in the Itapeva region, in southeastern São Paulo state, Brazil. It was discovered in 1941 by João Baptista Anhaia de Almeida Prado. The approach adopted contemplates the genesis of the mineralization and especially its importance as a source of beautiful mineral specimens for museums and collections. Until the end of the 1960’s there was a large cavern in a mineralized lode in limestones of the Açungui Group, with an internal space of around 100 m3. The ceiling, walls and floor were covered with stalactitic and mamelonar malachite, as well as some chrysocolla and azurite. This cavern was destroyed along with precious specimens, at a time when the lack of interest in preserving these rarities was remarkable, causing the loss of a unique mineralization of its kind. |
