A small beryllium mine on Calispell Peak. It was developed by a 335' adit and several cuts. A few hundred pounds of low grade beryl were produced. Beryl crystals up to 6" and greater were found here

Note: this locality is sometimes used interchangibly with Calispell Peak itself.

Attention: Stop changing the gps coordinates after I edit them correctly! I have been to this mine and know exactly where it is!! (Michael Lambert)
The mine sits in the bend of the road on the left side going into the mountain precisely on the gps coordinates I have given. The first 15 feet in the mine are the best sites on the left and right for finding aquamarine xls. Farther in one can find columbite, radioactives, garnets etc
