Soapstone and asbestos occur on the properties of Dr. R. J. Dean and W. H. Hunt, one mile west of Hiram on the south side of the Southern Railway, on lots 763 and 750, 2nd district, 3rd section.
A narrow dike, forming the backbone of a low ridge, and not more than 50 feet in width, can be traced in a northeast-southwest direction for the distance of three-fourths of a mile. The dike is associated with hornblende gneiss. As no fresh material is available, it is difficult to determine the original character of the rock. However, some of the freshest specimens, when studied in thin section, reveal remnants of olivine crystals to such an extent that it is safe to conclude that the rock was originally a member of the peridotite family.
The most important alteration products, noted in the order of their abundance, are as follows: Anthophyllite, actinolite (?), chlorite, and talc. The anthophyllite is poorly fibrous, very brittle and does not occur in large masses in pure form. Associated with the anthophyllite is one of the hornblendes, probably actinolite, which is usually massive and not fibrous. Chlorite predominates over talc.
Some fibrous masses of amphibole are present here, which resemble the material from the S. M. Harris property , but they have a greenish color and are less fibrous.
Very impure soapstone occurs here, composed largely of chlorite and amphibole needles. There is little or no possibility of commercial soapstone or asbestos on this property.
