An underground silver-lead mine, now operated as a crocoite specimen mine, and probably the prime source of crocoite in the world.
The host Cambrian ultramafics have been highly altered to serpentinites and galena and dolomite-rich rocks that have been deeply weathered forming crocoite-bearing gossans.
