Description: "A zunyite occurrence discover by personnel of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) was examined by the U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) in the late summer and fall of 1980. Three nearby geologically related structures were also examined. The zunyite discovery site was mapped, exposures of the silicified zone were channel sampled, and the zone was explored to a maximum depth of 149 ft3 by rotary and diamond drilling. Surface exposures of three nearby structures were sampled"--Page 4.
