General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit BEMENTITE LENSES WITH CINNABAR VEINLETS. THERE ARE TWO MAIN LENSES AND OTHER ERRATICALLY DISTRIBUTED PODS IN BASALT AND LIMESTONE. MINERALIZATION IS CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH A HIGHLY SILICEOUS, IRON-STAINED ROCK THAT HAS APPARENTLY REPLACED THE BASALT.
