THE VEIN IS COMPOSED LARGELY OF ALTERED PORPHYRY AND QUARTZ, STAINED WITH LIMONITE. THE WALLS ARE HIGHLY ALTERED AND SHEETED PARALLEL TO THE VEIN. MOST OF THE DUMP MATERIAL IS QUARTZ, ANKERITE AND FERRUGINOUS RHODOCROSITE, WITH SPECKS AND BANDS OF SPHALERITE, GALENA, AND PYRITE. SMALL QUANTITIES OF MALACHITE ARE PRESENT; HARD STEEL-GRAY PSILOMELANE, PRODUCED THROUGH OXIDATION OF THE MANGANIFEROUS CARBONATE, FORMS BOTRYOIDAL CRUSTS ON SOME OF THE ORE. |
