Purple Passion Mine

Formerly known as the Diamond Joe Mine, you can find the Purple Passion Mine within the Monarch Wash area near Wickenburg, Arizona. Mr. A.B. Lovell discovered the deposit in 1890, and the mine produced a multitude of commodities intermittently from 1901 to 1926. Around 1926 Diamond Joe Mining Co., Inc. began operating the mine, though only briefly, suspending operations in 1928. Recently, the mine has been under operation to collect unique mineral specimens.
