Sep 14, 2015 (A Wilson) - This outcrop contains a medium-grained, moderately foliated, pink syenite that is uniform in colour and texture. Jointing occurs in regular and irregular vertical sets, generally with moderate intensity. The presence of biotite crystals (approximately 20% of the rock) will limit the rock’s ability to take a polish. Other deleterious features include quartz veins, aplite dikes and poor exposure.
