In the early 1980's, a small ledge was blasted on residential property near the road at the south end of Highridge Road where it intersects Anvil Drive. Only five specimens were recovered. The minerals were grossular in well- formed microcrystals, malachite, and hematite. The area bedrock is the same for much of Huckleberry Hill- the Bristol member of the Collinsville formation.
