Fluorite vein in marble.
"This fluorite deposit was discovered in the 1890s by Nicholas Fleming while excavating a cellar. In 1905, mining operations were commenced by Stephen Wellington and a shaft was sunk. This was the first fluorite mine to operate in the Madoc area. The mine was worked again in 1907, from 1916 to 1917, and from 1944 to 1950. The last operations were by Milwood Fluorspar Mines Limited which operated a 58 m shaft (now fenced off). About 22,675 t of fluorite were produced making this the second largest Madoc producer after Rogers Mine. There are small dumps nearby."
