Köppen climate type:
An old abandoned nickel mine, type locality for two rare nickel minerals. The dump is rather picked over, and nickel minerals are now very sparse.
Note on the mineral list: Zaratite was locally abundant on weathered ore, as bright green alterations on heazlewoodite, but not all such material is true zaratite. Some of the material forms from alteration of hellyerite, and some may alter to other nickel minerals. Some was shown by Henry and Birch (1992) to include otwayite and theophrastite, though their XRD patterns indicated a greatly dominant amorphous phase. Similar material was shown to contain nullaginite (Garcia-Guinea et al., 2014). However, some fresh, glassy material appears quite amorphous and could be considered true zaratite (R. Bottrill, unpublished data). Some fine-grained, bright green chromian andradite there also resembles zaratite, as may some other secondary nickel minerals in the deposit.
