A former zeolite-pumice occurrence/claim/mine located in sec. 19 & in sec. 30, T24N, R6E, SBM, 2.2 km (1.4 miles) SW of Eagle Mountain, in the Amargosa Valley, along the Amargosa River, on National Park Service wilderness land (Death Valley National Park/Death Valley Wilderness) (located claim). MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 10 meters.
Mineralization is a zeolite deposit (sec. 30) and a nearby pumice deposit (sec. 19). The zeolites included phillipsite, clinoptilolite, and analcime. The volcanic clastics deposit occurs here or within 1,000 feet and were mined for road construction locally. Local rocks include Quaternary alluvium and marine deposits.
Workings include surface openings/operations.
