~ . ' paJci:te .. c1aim (CaCO,:)), about Smiles SW of Wickenburg, Az. Vulture Mountains. -

The undersi~ned, acco~pan~ed by August Gangola, 612 Clarkway Dr.,Lae Vegas, Nev.,and J. -p~y' id Campbell, Box 12Q7, Wickenburg, Az. 8'5358, visited th?"Calc !~e" -pronerty on Dec­ember 6, 1980. It is about 5 miles SW of Wickenburg, in the Vulture mountains, and near the old tBig Suar mine. t Is in the Wi of Sec. 3, T-6-N,R-5-W, SR&G ·B&M. Is 1 lode mining claim.

This calcite nronerty is most unusual, in that this chrystalized mineral is a glossy colored assortment of black and white CaCO~. It has the overall shiney an.pearance of~marb~e, but it is softer, and has not undere:one the metamorphism n"ece ss­ary to alter it into marble. The major part of the NE bank of the wash (where the road is) shows that this bed of mineral is about 9 ft. ht~h~ and 100 ft. long. Mr. Carnnbell stated that in the past, he has sold about $10,000.00 worth of this calcite for building rock, roof covering, and ornamental sur~ace decoration around gardens and swimming pools. He will sell this auarry run material by the ton.

The calcite, and nei~hboring limestone rocks, are most interestin~ from a geologic noint of view. A David Saunders, geologist (originally from Wickenburg), wrote a thesis to obtain his Masters degree in geology (Northern Arizona tTniversityO on this region. He founo it to be carbonitites.
