(Under Construction)
The Quartz Creek (Rainy) Mine area is currently under a private claim owned by Bob Jackson. Collecting is permitted during field trips lead by Bob at Geology Adventures.
MINERALS (Under Construction)
| - Anthophyllite crystals pseudomorphed to talc can be found (see Talc). | |
| FeAsS - Subhedral to euhedral grains locked in massive quartz are found in outcrops near the west adit. | |
| Cu - Rare micro-dendrites of native copper can be found within massive quartz. | |
| CuS - Small anhedral grains of indigo blue/black covellite can be found in outcrops near the east adit. | |
| FeS2 - Pyrite is found as massive and small grains. | |
| SiO2 - Terminated quartz crystals to a few centimeters are found within cavities. | |
| Mg3Si4O10(OH)2 - Talc pseudomorphs after anthophyllite are found in outcrop near the east adit. The pseudomorphs are tan-colored striated prismatic crystals to about 5 cm associated with massive sulfide and schorl. | |
| - Fine black schorl sprays associated with massive sulfide are found in outcrops near the east adit. |
