Abstract
The copper mines in the Okiep district of Namaqualand are steeped in the history of South African mining and geology. The most famous mineral specimen-producing copper mine in the district was the Jan Coetzee mine, where several thousand quartz specimens were collected in 1966. Excellent specimens of chalcopyrite, fluorite, calcite, gypsum and chalcocite have been collected from other mines in the district such as Nababeep West and Okiep.
