| Deposit | THE DEPOSIT LIES IN NORTH-DIPPING ROCKS CONSISTING PREDOMINATLY OF QUARTZITIC SANDSTONES WITH MINOR LIMESTONES THAT ARE CUT BY A SILL OF SEYENITE PORPHYRY AND BY TWO INTERSECTING MAJOR FAULTS. JOINTS, SMALL FOLDS, AND BRECCIA ZONES WERE DEVELOPED DURING THE INTRUSION AND ADJUSTMENTS THAT FOLLOWED. FLUORINE-BEARING SOLUTIONS, ADMITTED THROUGH THESE STRUCTURES AND ALONG BEDDING CONTACTS, REACTED WITH THE PERMEABLE ROCK TO FORM STRINGERS OF FLUORSPAR IN THE JOINTS. VEINS ALONG THE FAULTS AND BEDDING PLANES, PIPELIKE BODIES AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF FRACTURES, AND IRREGULAR MASSES IN BRECCIA ZONES. UNBRECCIATED ROCK WAS NOT NOTICEABLY AFFECTED BY THE SOLUTIONS. WITHIN THE EXPOSED MINERALIZED AREA, WHICH IS ABOUT 500 FT LONG AND 400 FT WIDE, THE DISTRIBUTION AND GRADE OF FLUORSPAR ARE HIGHLY IRREGULAR. THE FLUORSPAR IS FINE-GRAINED, COMPACT, OR POROUS, AND PURPLE ON FRESH SURFACES. LATER STAGES OF MINERALIZATION ARE REPRESENTED BY THE FORMATION OF DRUSY FLUORITE IN CAVITIES AND BY THE |
