Mineralization Comments

Jan 27, 2017 (A Wilson) - Large crystals of apatite are found associated with crystalline masses of hornblende in veins of pink calcite, cutting a fine-grained gneissic rock, on lot 3, concession X of the township of Monmouth. The upper portions of the veins have been dissolved away, leaving crevasses which are now partially filled with soil, through which the apatite crystals are scattered.
