GUID (UUID V4):

The Longfellow mine is just east of and near the crest of Red Mountain Pass (Ouray-San Juan County line) on U.S. Highway 550. The deposit penetrated by this mine is fairly typical of chimney ore deposits of the Red Mountain mining district in the western San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado. Mine development started in the late 1940's or early 1950's and has continued intermittently to the present; the mine workings explore what are considered to be north and south ore bodies by means of a shaft and several short tunnels on the 150-foot level. In a shallow pit about 150 feet south of the shafthouse, a bulldozer cut has exposed mineralized ground which may, in part, be the near-surface expression of the south ore body.

ⓘ Dickite

Formula: Al₂(Si₂O₅)(OH)₄

Description: Luedke and Hosterman (1971) say: The dickite is white or light grey, massive appearing, and moderately soft. It occurs principally as small pore and cavity fillings and locally encrusting about ore minerals. As seen in thin section, the dickite occurs as single and clustered irregular pseudohexagonal crystals with low birefringence.
