11th Avenue Quarry


An aggregate/crushed stone deposit/quarry located on private land. Owned by the Martin Marietta Aggregates Company, Southeast Division.

Mineralization is in schists of the Inner Piedmont province of the Appalachian Orogen. Three main mineral forming environments are present. Ankerite veins contain fine ilmenite crystals and other well-formed rock-forming minerals. Prehnite veins in chloritic shear- and fracture-zones contain sharp prehnite crystals, some babingtonite, and various zeolites. Stilbite crystals are found in a fault zone at the northwest end of the quarry. Kainosite occurred in a one-time find where ankerite veins crossed a pegmatite containing large crude allanite crystals.

Local rocks include metamorphosed granitic rock.

Workings include surface openings comprised of a quarry.
