CRANBERRY IRON MINE Entrance to adit Click on picture to enlarge Looking outside from main adit entrance Click on pictures to enlarge magnetite, calcite, pyrite and hedenbergite magnetite-epidote-feldspar rock   I made the following cabochons from material collected from this mine (cab pictures do not enlarge): Attention: To "protect" native bats, a tall chain-link fence has been erected to prevent access to the underground workings. However, practically all rocks and minerals can still be found in spoil piles outside the mine (as were those pictured above).
