Here is an image of a Sodalite occurance about 100 meters north from the Gouldin-Keene & 150meters south from egan chutes.It is on the left side of the road. The occurance has a rock wall with debry making a slight ring around the wall. There is a minor amount of blue sodalite still in the wall.
Here is a chizzled out crack filled with Blue Sodalite. I was planning to take more images but the mosquito’s were taking a brutal vengeance on my.
