Jul 31, 2012 (A Wilson) - The general area has been the subject of intermittent exploration focused on development of decorative stone since the early 1970�s. The rocks are metamorphosed to a lower amphibolite facies and contain appreciable amounts of mica. In places mica rich bands impart a strong somewhat variable foliation in the rock. This foliation commonly acts as a plane of weakness for splitting the stone. Grain size within these rocks ranges from microscopic flakes to larger 0.8 cm flakes adjacent to crosscutting quartz veins. Other minerals include common subhedral quartz and feldspar grains that range in size from 0.1 cm to 0.4 cm. micaceous quartzite vary both in colour and mica content. Quartz veins occur in abundance and commonly contain coarse specular hematite. The stone is character:ized by a distinctive olive green colour or satin black within the biotite rich bands. Quality deter:mining properties include colour, abundance of mica, grain size, uniformity and joint spacing.
Jul 31, 2012 (A Wilson) - Dependent on jointing and fracture patterns the more massive rock may be suitable for quarrying as dimension stone blocks. The abundance of green mica and black biotite both which "sparkle" when exposed to sunlight should make it an attractive dimension or landscape product.
