Located 13 kilometers northwest of town in sections 15 & 16 T47N R44W.
Axinite Group minerals occur as rare individual crystals and as coarse bladed tan colored aggregates in quartz veins filling tension fractures in greenstone (meta-basalt) of the lower Ironwood iron formation. Quartz, calcite, sparse epidote, magnetite, and base-metal sulfides are associated with the axinite.
