An occurrence on the east side of Granite Basin, about 1¼ miles NE of Barnes Peak. NOTE: Coordinates provided are for Granite Basin proper.
Mineralization is Mescal limestone replaced along minor fractures by irregular masses of garnet, which enclose small masses and stringers of magnetite generally associated with a little antigorite. The peripheral parts of the garnet masses are coarsely granular and contain much antigorite that is intergrown with the garnet. Antigorite also appears to form a thin sheath around the garnet masses.
