Small granodiorite stocks and sills intrude lower Paleozoic Mount Arthur Marble and Onekaka Schist in Copperstain Creek, a tributary of the Pariwhakaoho River, about 11 km west of Takaka.

In the upper reaches of the creek, the Arthur Marble, contains pale green films of chromian muscovite along some schistosity planes. The muscovite is associated with biotite, chlorite, rutile, tourmaline, fluorapatite, and pyrite.
