Dec 07, 2005 (C Papertzian) - A pegmatite sill, hosted in a black biotite-plagioclase gneiss, is zoned in the S 2/3 of its exposure, a coarse mix of quartz and feldspar to the N. There are small amounts of garnet, euxenite, monazite and columbite. Overburden partly obscures the workings and there is little outcrop in the area.
