Caption: The Liberty Pit Exhibit (across parking lot from marker): Quartz
Additional Description: This granite-like rock formed from the cooling and solidification of the magma that produced he ore deposits here in the Robinson District. Large pinkish K-feldspar crystals, white plagioclase feldspar crystals, black biotite and/or hornblende, and smoky-gray, glassy crystals of quartz are the main minerals present. Because this rock is thoroughly fractured throughout the Robinson District, large boulders of it generally do not occur.
