Entrance to No. 2 Tunnel

Brown Derby No. 1, Brown Derby Mine, Ohio City, Quartz Creek District, Gunnison Co., Colorado, USA

All entrances to tunnels have been gated and locked at this mine. If you like lepidolite this is the place. I like the accessory species and this pegmatite proved to be a disappointment. Either they were very sparce or have all been removed. Definately a classic Colorado locality though. Photo; Rudy Bolona, May 31, 2008.
