Calcite veins hosting schorl crystals to over 3.5cm wide / up to 5.5cm in length, and ilmenite crystals up to 3.2cm, exposed during highway construction. The ilmenite crystals are usually altered to a mixture of hematite, rutile and anatase. On occasion, this mixture can also contain brookite and titanite. Another uncommon pseudomorph is that of micro rutile crystal clusters after ilmenite crystals.
