A cute cluster of anorthoclase sometimes referred to as “Moonstone” with some crystals showing a bluish iridescence. The Pili Mine lies in low hills just east of the famous Naica Mine in the Municipality of Saucillo in central Chihuahua.

No work has been done since, largely because the claims lie within a major military reservation and surface access is tightly restricted.
