Structure: Nw Trending Fractures And Bedding
Tectonics: Basin And Range
Deposit: A 4 ft wide vertical fluorspar vein, striking N 50 w, is exposed in a pit on the crest of a high ridge trending north from cook's peak. The siliceous vein is traceable for 35 ft in limestone host rock. This exposure is a replacement type deposit containing about 50% caf2. A second vein that strikes n W and dips 15 to 20 s W is traceable for about 200 ft along the west slope of the ridge. True vein thickness, although masked by the low angle dip, is estimated to be 2 to 3 ft. This vein appears to have replaced limestone along a fracture parallel to bedding. Fluorite occurs As yellow and green crystals edged with purple.
Ore(s): Fractures Allowed Mineralizing Fluids To Reach A Favorable Limestone Unit.
