Primarily an underground mine, with small surface quarry. The Thomas vein, a series of calcite-barite-sphalerite veins cut through both surface and underground workings from the Middle Ordovician Tyrone into the Camp Nelson Limestones. It is located in the northern part of the Central Kentucky Fluorspar District, although the veins do not contain any fluorite.
This quarry is not accessible to most collectors, so don't bother contacting them. The owner will not let you in. They have been known to allow in university mineralogists for research purposes.
