Type:
30 km² area of slightly metamorphosed salt dome cap rock (evaporite) with entrained clasts of highly altered sedimentary and alkaline volcanic rocks. Remains of 24 asbestos mines, 5 dolomite quarries, and 1 magnesite quarry.
Bolivian crocidolite was mined for export – a United Nations-supported development project – from the late 1940s to around 1970. It was used in approximately 13 billion Kent Micronite cigarette filters, manufactured from March 1952 until at least May 1956 by the Lorillard Tobacco Company (now part of the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company). After that, production declined and became limited to local uses like reinforcing concrete water tanks and roof tiles. The dolomite is still occasionally mined for bottle glass, and the magnesite for refractory brick. An attempt to mine danburite for lead-free ceramic glaze failed because the danburite was too tough for the available crushing machinery.
