The baryte veins are hosted by gneissic adamellite. The veins extend a length of up to 30 metres, 0.6 to 1.2 metres wide. At vein intersections, masses of baryte have developed covering areas 5 to 7 metres in diameter. The veins narrow at depth. Coarsely crystalline baryte is off white to pale pink in colour. Some costeans are said to have been dug on the prospect.
