A lithium-rich, albite-spodumene pegmatite. The pegmatite is exposed on both sides of Holley Road. The GPS coordinates are for the southern exposure. In the mid 2010s, a large sample from the mine was sent to China.

The large spodumene crystals are evident everywhere. They are reported to reach 2 m in length. Most are white but pink is common and green is rare.
