Taylor Pit (Concession XIV; Lot 13), Huntingdon Township, Madoc Area, Hastings Co., Ontario, Canada
The Taylor pit, near or perhaps within the town of Madoc, was billed as the antimony analogue of the Lengenbach Quarry (http://www.mindat.org/loc-3207.html). However, unlike the Lengenbach, there are no vugs in the marble for cm-sized crystals to grow. Although there were cm-sized metallic masses, the crystals are in the mm range. In 1966 Moyd & Steacy mined 2000 lbs which were broken into several hundred pieces. The first selection gave about 200 pieces with sulfide grains, which were X-rayed and yielded 18 hits, 16 of which were veenite.
