Discoveries
- muscovite
- beryl
- tourmaline
- garnet
- rose quartz
- smoky quartz
Clear ruby-coloured muscovite and black biotite are plentiful on the dumps. Small flakes of olive green mica are also common. Good samples of rose quartz and smoky quartz have been found in the mullock heaps, but the material is not plentiful. Clear, red garnets have been found in the bedrock.
Specimens of perthitic feldspar are not as common, nor of good quality, as those nearby in the Spotted Tiger Mines. Tourmaline is common as small, thin, black prismatic crystals in quartz or feldspar. Beryl is difficult to find on the dumps.
