A feature running from Polk County, Georgia (https://www.mindat.org/loc-67293.html) into SE Cherokee County, Alabama (this page). This locality is not listed in the USGS MRDS database.
Note on the mineral list: Barwood & Hajek (1978) states that XRD analysis showed that all the green to yellow-green fibrous hemispheres of “dufrénite” from the Indian Mountain locality were mixtures of dufrénite and kidwellite.

Detailed Mineral List:
| ⓘ Baryte Formula: BaSO4 |
| ⓘ Beraunite Formula: Fe3+6(PO4)4O(OH)4 · 6H2O Localities: Description: IMA nomenclature revision re-instated eleonorite as the ferric dominant member of the group (2015), but in 2021, eleonorite was discredited as a species for being identical to beraunite. |
| ⓘ Cacoxenite Formula: Fe3+24AlO6(PO4)17(OH)12 · 75H2O |
| ⓘ Churchite-(Y) Formula: Y(PO4) · 2H2O |
| ⓘ Dufrénite Formula: Ca0.5Fe2+Fe3+5(PO4)4(OH)6 · 2H2O |

| ⓘ Jarosite Formula: KFe3+3(SO4)2(OH)6 |
| ⓘ Kidwellite Formula: NaFe3+9+x(PO4)6(OH)11 · 3H2O, x = 0.33 Localities: Description: As pseudomorphs after beraunite or as tiny crystals on strengite |
| ⓘ 'Laubmannite (of Moore)' Formula: (Fe3+,Fe2+,M)8+x(OH,H2O)9(H2O)2(PO4)5, M = Fe3+, Cu2+ or other metal cation, x ~ 0.1. Description: The material originally reported as "Laubmannite" showed to consist of an intimate mixture of finely fibrous dufrenite and kidwellite which give an x-ray diffractometer pattern easily confused with laubmannite (Barwood & Hajek 1978)
