Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (C Papertzian) - Property # FOE 01 : a grey-brown, weathering grey-pink, fine-medium-grained, massive granite. Numerous dykes (1-20 cm) and cross-cutting quartz veining. The potential for dimension is very limited due to jointing and colour and texture inconsistency. Could possibly be used for ashlar and paving stone.
