While many specimens have been labeled from the Frustration Mine, no known reference exists for the name Frustration Mine, and the origin of the name Frustration Mine remains nebulous. A 1909 thesis describes the mines in the Tijeras Canyon District and maps out the mines in the area, designating the workings as the Highland Mary Mine. The locality consists of two short adits (a north and a south) and a two trenches. A 45-foot shaft described in the 1909 thesis corresponds to the north adit, but it is currently unclear when the other features were developed. [Erin Delventhal, per discussion with Ray DeMark and Tom Katonak, 2018]
Ramon DeMark, one of our New Mexico experts says there is one Frustration Mine. He says it has a north adit and a south adit. The barite from the Octaroon mine is in thin blades while the barite from the Galena King has coarse, opaque blades that are often coated with drusy fluorite or in some case "hooded" by drusy fluorite. Barite from the Frustration mine is not noteworthy and much less common than at the Galena King or Octaroon.
