Deposit: VERY SMALL PEGMATITE Property also consistes of a granite pegmatite dike with some beryl (Bull. 71, p. 43).
Deposit type: Pegmatites
Geology: This pegmatite is in preCambrian shcist and contains chiefly quartz, microcline and muscovite, with accessory albite. Punch and scrap quality mica is visible in a pit 25 ft to 30 ft long, 8 to 10 ft wide, and 3 to 4 ft deep. The dike trends N55W. (Bull. 50, p. 71). Large garnets, some of which weigh over 2 lbs have been found in a biotite schist body near the Ione Prospect. Most crystals do not show good crystal faces and are not of gem quality. (Bull. 50 p. 76).
