Located one kilometre west of Roebourne, and one kilometre south of the North-West Coastal Highway, on top of a range of hills. The Roebourne tourist bureau, and at least one local collector state it is a site for chrysoprase, known locally as Dragon Stone. The Roebourne Tourist Bureau states that not much material is left at the site. A specimen seen from the site may not fit the description of chrysoprase, and no other nickel prospects are known in the immediate area. More information and confirmation is needed for this site.
The bureau is worth a stop if travelling in the area for its large boulder-sized specimen collection sitting forlornly along the back fence.
