Dec 07, 2005 (C Papertzian) - Mineral collecting location.
Aug 14, 2023 (Mateo Dorado-Troughton) - Purple fluorite occurs as grains and granular aggregates in white calcite. Red and green apatite crystals averaging 1.5cm in diameter occur with green clinopyroxene in the calcite. The vein also carries black clinoamphibole, grey to green scapolite and pink feldspar (Sabina 1986).

Notes: "This property can be reached by a trail [...] on the first hill east of the Cope Lake Road on the Mumford Road. This is another of the several calcite, fluorite-apatite vein deposits. No vein material was seen in place. All of it is removed. But mineral specimens remain and scapolite crystals line the wall (ceiling) of the cut in one place" - Field trip report
