Although a single pegmatite, 6 quarries are exposed in it and a un-named seventh area is in the works. Famous for its royal purple fluor-apatites and gem tourmaline, the area has also produced great mineral specimens of all kinds. Started as a commercial feldspar location, it has been a collectors heaven for over 100 years.
