StructureThe 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
AlterationLenses 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
