| Primary: | Asbestos |
| Ore: | Chrysotile |
| Orebody form: | LENSES |
| Operation type: | Unknown |
| Production size: | Small |
| Development status: | Past Producer |
| Host rock: | Mescal Limestone |
| Host type: | Limestone |
| Associated type: | Diabase |
| Structure: | The Structual Control That Influenced The Deposition Of Asbestos At This Extreme Distance From Diabase Has Not Been Definitely Determined, As No Dikes Or Crosscutting Features Are Indicated. These Are Numerous More-Or-Less Parallel, East-West, Pre-Mineral Fractures Showing Slight Horizontal Movement, Which May Be Related To The Ore Deposition |
| Alteration processes: | Lenses Have Been Found Where A Fairly Thick Veinlet Of Entirely Amber-Color Fiber Occurs Along The Top Surface Of The Color-Banded Asbestos Veins. These Occurrences Strongly Suggest Second-Generation Asbestos Deposition |
