Mar 18, 2022 (Sheree Hinz) - 60 foot dike with large pink feldspar crystals. A property visit in the 1990's determined that either there was a low proportion of k-feldspar present, or that the k-feldspar occurred in large enough crystals to be hand-cobbed, as there was little to none found in the dump on site. Other minerals observed on the dumps include quartz, plagioclase, and accessory to trace amounts of muscovite, biotite, sphene, euxenite, calcite, pyrite and scapolite.
