There are probably a lot of mine tailing piles near the mines near Globe. I don't know if they are private or public, so you may need to pay attention to signs or ask permission. If you know of a specific location consider adding it separately from this post.

Dominion Mine: rich assortment of Copper minerals; (5) W 6½ mi., at Keystone and Live Oak Mines: Chrysocolla, chrysocolla-stained
calcedony, rock crystal and other Copper minerals"
