Feb 10, 2023 (Sheree Hinz) - This rock is a highly foliated dolomitic marble. The majority of the outcrop is whitish brown on the fresh surface, the brown being the result of bands of fine grained phlogopite. The stone may also appear greenish in some spots due to the presence of tremolite. Pyrite is present but only in trace amounts. Jointing appears regular and moderate but the outcrop area appears very limited The rock is bedded with an average thickness of 1.5 m.
