Feb 23, 2012 (A Wilson) - The dike is 10-12 feet wide and was opened for a length of 180 feet up the hillside. The dike strikes N35-40E and dips steeply to the north. The pegmatites are zoned with quartz-feldspar intergrowth border zones of microcline and albite in quartz-feldspar mixture and small discontinuous quartz cores. The predominant feldspar is microcline but there is a small amount of albite
