Comments on the geologic information

  • "A porphyritic hornblende body of rock, 80 ft. long, 30 ft. wide, and of unknown thickness, trends NE-SW and is surrounded by granodiorite gneiss. The rock consists of ovoid black amphibole crystals up to 1.5 cm long in a red, pink, or white groundmass. The distinctive pattern may be suitable for ornamental stone." (Bull. 50, 1966 ed., p. 177).
