| Deposit | BENTONITE AS LENSES, DISCONTINUOUS BEDS, AND CHANNEL FILL DEPOSITS IN ALTERED VITRIC LATITE ASH. BENTONITE MINED RANGES IN THICKNESS FROM 3-5FT AND IN SOME PLACES UP TO 9 FT THICK. BENTONITE IS CHIEFLY CALCIUM MONTMORILLONITE AND CONTAINS ONLY MINOR QUANTITIES OF QUARTZ AND FELDSPAR IMPURITIES. |
| Deposit | PEGMATITE BODY AT LEAST 1500 FT LONG AND AT PLACES GREATER THAN 200 FT WIDE. MINERALOGIC AND TEXTURAL ZONING ARE CLEARLY DEFINED. THE IRREGULAR CENTRAL CORE, WHICH IN PLACES EXTENDS TO ALMOST THE FULL WIDTH OF THE PEGMATITE BODY, IS COMPOSED OF LARGE GRAYISH-WHITE MASSES OF MICROCLINE WITH SUBORDINATE GRAY QUARTZ PODS, VEINS, AND STRINGERS. AN INTERMEDIATE THINNER WALL ZONE SHOWS MEDIUM-GRAINED, COMMONLY STREAKED OR GNEISSOIDAL, AGGREGATES OF GRAY QUARTZ, GRAYISH-WHITE FELDSPAR, SOME BIOTITE AND LOCALLY MUSCOVITE, GARNET, MAGNETITE, ALLANITE, AND GRAPHIC GRANITE. THIS ZONE IS ALSO CUT BY QUARTZ VEINLETS. THE OUTER THIN BORDER ZONE CONSISTS OF FINE-GRAINED WHITE, APLITIC QUARTZ AND FELDSPAR. THE PREDOMINANT FELDSPAR IS MICROCLINE. |
