GUID (UUID V4):

Pegmatite veins occur over some 10 miles between Goodhouse and Vioolsdrift, the longest being over a mile by 50 yards in width.

The chief replacement processes are muscovitization, albitization, and lithianization.

Furthermore, Bi veins in greisen and highly quartzose pegmatites, and beryl and scheelite in quartz-tourmaline veins.

There are also nonpegmatitic deposits of Cu ores, amethyst, and tremolite.

GPS coordinates are approximate for Goodhouse.
