Pegmatite outcrop in Muskrat Creek under the bridge on Stoney Lonesome Road. Dike cuts granitic gneiss, and is well exposed on both sides of the creek. It is unusual for pegmatites in the region in that it contains significant muscovite and has local areas of coarse graphic granite. Field checked 2016.
