Large opencut mine known for a wealth of secondary mineral species.

NOTE: Material from this opencut (and also the Block 14 Opencut) which was fairly rich in secondary minerals could be collected in the 1990s on designated dumps on the mine site of the Pinnacles mine http://www.mindat.org/loc-5752.html).
