A former small surface specimen mine located in sec. 36, T.11S., R.2E. SW of Casa Grande. The exact location is not certain and the property may be located on the next topographic sheet to the west - Ventana 1:24,000.
Mineralization is willemite and associated calcite that fluoresces red and green when exposed to short wave UV light.
A small tonnage of this material was shipped to California for use in fluorescent fireplaces.
