Mt Stoker deposit, also known as the Hindon Antimony Mine, near Hindon (Rowe, 1881a) consists of an auriferous quartz lode with pyrite and some stibnite. The lode is 5.5 m wide and dips 45o to the northeast. The deposit was worked intermittently up to 1948, when 9 t of ore were produced.
XRD of specimens confirms either lewisite or romeite; however, XRD alone is not conclusive. Brugger et al. (1997) notes lewisite as a questionable species.
