Aug 03, 2011 (A Wilson) - Red manganese garnets up to an inch in diameter and ilmenite are common. The garnets are particularly common in the granular mixture, but can occasionally be seen in both the massive quartz and spar areas. Mica was reportedly extracted from a pit in this area. Microcline crystals up to 8 and 10 inches in size and lengths of 3-4 feet have been observed in the area. One crystal of biotite was reportedly 24 inches wide and up to several inches in thickness.
