Dewy Rose prospect


A small prospect was opened recently by]. H. Tate of Dewy Rose in a field about 500 feet N. 15° E. from his dwelling. A small amount of sheet mica was obtained in an opening from which he removed about one cubit yard of soil. Some of the sheets trimmed to 2 by 3 inches; much of the mica is ruled. The pegmatite is probably narrow; it strikes about N. 30° E. associated with a quartz lead.

Blue beryl crystals approaching gem quality are reported from Dewy Rose.
