Aug 07, 2012 (A Wilson) - The host rock is comprised of fine- to medium- grained, green, red or white weathering muscovite schist interbedded with medium- to coarse-grained, glassy, quartz arenite. Displaying muscovite-rich crenulation planes and colouration contacts which conformably dip southwest 80°, the quartzose rock contains a sequence of mappable colour units. Traced perpendicular to the 110° strike in a northeasterly direction, the inclined beds progress from a clean medium-grained quartzose gneiss, through red micaceous, green micaceous, alternating red and green micaceous to, finally, a gray micaceous medium-grained quartzose gneiss. The interbedded quartzite is consistently medium-grained and well-sorted with ilmenite and alkali feldspar in minor quantities dispersed throughout.
Aug 07, 2012 (A Wilson) - The stone is quarried for landscaping gravel and metallic paint additive. Stone is quarried intermittently on an as needed basis.
