| ⓘ Actinolite Formula: ◻Ca2(Mg4.5-2.5Fe0.5-2.5)Si8O22(OH)2 |
| ⓘ 'Actinolite-Tremolite Series' Habit: Ranges from massive to frequently fine, soft, asbestiform masses lying transverse to the vein, also coarse, tough sheaves and bundles parallel to the vein.
Veins vary between sub-millimetre to 150mm or more.
Fibres sub-millimetre to (prossibly) in excess of 100mm. Colour: White, pale green, olive green, blackish green Description: It is likely, from anecdotal evidence, that most of the material from this site will tend toward the Tremolite end of the series, although Actinolite has been reported.

| ⓘ 'Asbestos var. Mountain Leather' Habit: Fibrous, matted. Impalpable, microscopic. Colour: Sepia-brown, paling to greyish-white. Translucent to opaque.
Becomes pale dun to white when fully dry. Description: Mountain leather forms thin, multilayered masses at the interface between some calcite veins and the bastite serpentinite host-rock.
It is characterised as a sepia-brown, lamellar sheet, friable and slightly flexible when dry and distinctly soft and flexible when wet. The margins of the sheets exhibit occasional fringes of separated asbestiform fibres.
Composition is almost certainly within the Tremolite-Actinolite series. References: |

Formula: Cu3(V2O7)(OH)2 · 2H2O Description: A mineral which is almost certainly volborthite occurs as minute yellow to yellow green spherules (up to about 0.3 mm across) in fractures in the rock. Insufficient material was available for analysis by XRD, but EDS produced a trace which is typical of volborthite. Identification can only be tentative without a confirmatory analysis by XRD, but the data is included in the hope that a detailed examination of further specimens will reveal sufficient material. |

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Devonian : 419.2 ± 3.2 Ma to 358.9 ± 0.4 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
