Deposit: The gilbert canyon pegmatite area was explored prior to 1942 for beryl by means of small pits and trenches. One prospect in gilbert canyon 18 feet wide contained few scattered beryl crystals 2"-3" across, and a little columbite-tantalite and uraninite. A fine grained pegmatite on the n. Side of mccutcheon creek (see 4) contains a few green beryl crystals and a little columbite-tantalite. No production is recorded from this area through 1969. ; info.src : beryl crystals 2" to 3" across and a little columbite, tantalite, and uraninite occur in pegmatite dikes
Deposit type: W veins
Development: Gilbert canyon pegmatite area was explored for beryl prior to 1942
