Tectonics: Cerrillos Uplift
Deposit: There were two thin veins encountered at depth in a zone of shearing and alteration. The east vein contains quartz stringers and disseminated pyrite, and a small solution cavity containing crystals of amethystine quartz. The west vein consists of several parallel planes of shearing, between which the monzonite has been highly altered and lightly mineralized with pyrite, quartz and carbonate, including a little pale pink rhodochrosite. A small pocket of coffee-colored sphalerite was found with minor amounts of galena.
