Storer mica prospect
A small cut was excavated in 1933 or 1934. The property was examined in May 1944 by Glenn W. Stewart.
The pegmatite is a lens that is 30 feet wide and can be traced about 100 feet along strike. It strikes about N. 50° W. and dips 40° SW. It is essentially concordant to the foliation of the enclosing quartz-mica schist.
The pegmatite has a narrow border zone, 1 to 3 inches thick, consisting of fine-grained quartz and muscovite. Inside the border zone is a medium- to coarse-grained core composed of plagioclase, quartz, minor amounts of perthite, and muscovite. The muscovite books average 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches. They are cracked and ruled, and only sparsely disseminated through the pegmatite.
