Other/historical names associated with this locality:
MS 6162; Stewart Lithia Mine; Stewart pegmatite
A complex and highly mineralized granitic pegmatite-aplite dike, hosted in gabbro.
Located near the village of Pala.
The pegmatite was originally mined during the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a source of lithium from massive pods of lepidolite that occur in the dike. It was reopened in the late 1960s as a gem mine and has periodically produced specimens and gem material of elbaite, as well as morganite and kunzite. The mine is particularly known for its reddish-pink elbaite.
The deposit is on private land, patented in 1949 by Blanche C. Crane.
