| Deposit | FLUORITE, BARITE, AND QUARTZ OCCUR IN A BRECCIATED FAULT ZONE CHIEFLY REPLACING THE LESS RESISTANT CONSTITUENTS OF THE SANDSTONE HOST AND BRECCIA FRAGMENTS. THE LIMESTONES HAVE BEEN MINERALIZED ONLY SLIGHTLY. THE ORE BODIES ALONG THE FAULT ARE EXTREMELY VARIABLE IN SIZE, SHAPE, AND CAF2 CONTENT. |
