Granite pegmatite. A swarm of twelve (12) NE trending pegmatite sills in Precambrian Franklin marble over an area 400' wide by 3,700' long. The deposit is centered 1 mile SW of Franklin and just SE of Wildcat Branch (stream). This locality occurs within the Wildcat Branch band of Franklin marble and is; therefore, outside the limits of the Franklin Mining District, as defined by Dunn, P.J. (1995), which stops at the SE boundary of that formation.
