Redmond Prospect
A Pb occurrence/prospect located 0.4 miles north of the southern end of Waterville Lake.
NOTE: COLLECTING IS NOW STRICTLY PROHIBITED BY THE REDMOND FAMILY, AND THE PROPERTY IS NOW WELL MARKED WITH NO TRESPASSING SIGNS. The property is patrolled regularly, and violators will be prosecuted.
State records on file at the NC Geologic Survey Office record that a load of hand-cobbed lead ore was shipped to the Tri-State lead district for processing. This locality was misreported as a Cu prospect; it is recorded in state records as having been prospected for Pb.
All specimens of azurite reported from the locality are most likely linarite, as no in-situ azurite has been collected during recent studies. Michael Lambert II and Jason Smith hypothesized that all the blue staining and crystals present were most likely linarite, and this was confirmed by PXRD.

"The story of the discovery of the new species here is a bit longwinded, but a rather simple one. In 2017 I lost access to my favorite collecting locality (the Foote Mine) due to change in property ownership, and was looking for somewhere new and interesting to collect. I had never even heard of the Redmond Mine until I was looking through a collection of NC minerals that was for sale and came across a specimen of 'azurite' from the mine. The crystals were clearly linarite, an extremely rare mineral in NC, so my interest was instantly piqued. I got in touch with a collector in TN who was familiar with the locality and visited for the first time in the winter of 2017. It's an underground mine, with a very tricky entrance... but once inside I knew the place had potential, and only 7 minerals were reported from the mine at the time. The problem with such a mineral-rich state like NC is that there is a paucity of collectors willing to really investigate the mineralogy past the eye-visible scale. I can count on one hand the number of collectors interested in rare or unusual minerals here. I on the other hand am obsessed with small, rare minerals, and have a working relationship with a number of different mineralogists, but primarily with Dr. Tony Kampf after working on quite a few new species together previously.
For the first year or so I collected the typical things found in your average supergene Pb/Zn deposit... cerussite, pyromorphite, linarite, brochantite, anglesite, malachite... but started to find things that hadn't been reported in NC, or the US before. Redgillite, wroewolfeite, langite, susannite, caledonite, bechererite, steverustite, etc. The main ore body there is a rather thin quartz vein with a very robust, fine-grained galena/sphalerite/chalcopyrite zone at its core... and other than being shiny, it was mostly ignored by collectors. Like most collectors I was removing it to expose the quartz vugs and brecciated fractures which had the interesting minerals. One day however, I took a couple large chunks of the ore home because there were some vugs with nice crystals of anglesite in it. I noticed these strange, alteration rims in certain portions of the ore, and the first vug I looked at inside that rim had a purple spray of elyite in it. Shocked, I broke the material up further. In one vug there were some very pale pink, bladed crystals and some colorless prisms. In another was a very strange, dark brown tabular crystal. In a third were a few very pale pink, short hexagonal barrels. I marked 11 unknowns on that one fist sized chunk and sent it to Tony Kampf. There were 9 new minerals on the one chunk, and the other two were lanarkite and sidpietersite. Hundreds of hours at the microscope and the rest is history. To date there are over 20 new species. The unusual Pb/Zn and thiosulfate chemistry there is made possible by a natural alkaline spring that filters through the vein system from the knob above the mine. In fact, that is how the deposit was discovered in the first place, when after the spring was sampled and shown to be very high in lead. Of course with such unusual chemistries so likened to slag mineralization, there was the question of whether or not fire was used inside the mine to process ore. The answer to that question is a simple one as well... The mine was originally operated as an open pit, but in 1946 an adit was driven in to chase the vein and it pinched out some 150' inside the mine. The ore that was cobbed was needed in it's natural state for assaying and processing to determine the economic value of further mining... and provided disappointing results thus the prospect was abandoned. The mineralization at Redmond is very much supergene, but completely natural, and that is what makes it even more fascinating.
For the first couple years I collected there with the understanding that the owners didn't mind collectors visiting... but showed up one day to quite a few No Trespassing signs... so I managed to track down the Redmond family, explain to them what I'd found there, and they were very excited about it. They gave me permission to do the research and have been very gracious and kind, but would also like to eventually close the mine to keep people out. So please do not attempt to collect there if you're reading this and want to visit. Also, I have completely worked out the zone that produced the new species, and collecting elsewhere in the mine for other minerals is dangerous and fairly unproductive at this point."
