An expansive area covering over 100 acres, half of which lies on Crown land. Difficult access, with access by ATV on private lands from the north or on I,B & O Rail trail from the south across crown lands. Dolomitic marble cuts biotite granite gneiss in several vein dykes. Locally, some veins host predominantly fluororichterite and other amphiboles, others host microcline, smoky quartz with minor pyroxenes.
