Salt export business exploited from early 19th century attracted many newcomers and brought a relative prosperity till its decline in the first half of the 20th century. By 1985, the salinas ceased all operations. In 1990, there were still 700 residents in Pedra de Lume. Unfortunately, the economy of the town only offers a handful of job opportunities, so the rest had to migrate to other parts of Sal or abroad. The site has now been turned into a resort.

The Saguaro Cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is one of the iconic plants of the Sonoran Desert in Southern Arizona and Western Sonora, Mexico. These plants are large cacti that develop branches as they grow and mature. The branches generally bend upward but not always. The fluted trunks and branches of the saguaro are covered with protective spines. In the late spring the plant develops white flowers and red fruit forms in the summer. Saguaros are found only in the Sonoran Desert. To thrive they need water and the correct temperature. At higher elevations, the cold weather and frost can kill the saguaro. The Sonoran Desert experiences monsoon rains during July and August. This is when the saguaro obtains the moisture it needs to survive and thrive. These saguaro cacti were found in Catalina State Park near Tucson, Arizona, USA.
