Oxford-West Morrison Cut
An open cut made by Hastie's in 1986 south of the Austin Lead or Lead Mine and west of the Cleveland Mine. It produced a small quantity of fluorite with crystal masses weighing up to 50 pounds. Crystals were generally 8 - 12 cm in length with a silky luster. It has since been obliterated by quarrying limestone and sandstone.
