74 JOURNAL OF THE 
the anthophyllite and as this name is often applied to an 
enstatite occurring at the corumdum mine, it has been 
thought that a description of the occurrence of these two 
minerals would be of interest. 
At the Woody place two and a half miles south of Ba- 
kersville on the Marion road, there is a large outcrop of 
dunite rock extending from near the road to the top of 
the hill, a lenticular mass about 600 by 300 feet. The 
hillside, where it occurs, is quite barren and thickly scat- 
tered with loose fragments and boulders of the altered 
dunite. The outcrop has been carefully’ examined but 
the anthophyllite has only been found in the boulders. 
The mineral occurs in. prismatic crystals imbedded in 
penninite. Nearly all the crystals are seamed and cracked 
while those near the outer part of the boulders are some- 
what decomposed and stained a dirty brown. The purest 
crystals are transparent, and vary from pale clove brown 
to a flesh color. | 
The crystals measure from 2™" to 6™" in the widest 
diameter and in length, some were found that were over 
three centimeters. 
A great many crystals were examined but no termina- 
ted ones were observed. The unit prism, 110, occurring 
alone, or in Combination with the brachy pinacoid, 010, 
were the only forms observed. 
Although the boulders containing the anthophyllite are 
composed almost always Of this mineral and penninite, 
there are other minerals, resulting from the alternation 
ef the chrysolite, which occur at this locality. ‘These 
are magnetite in pertect octahedrons 1"™" in diameter, 
e@reen actinolite, chalcedony, druzy quartz, talc, serpen- 
tine and genthite. Chromite occurs in grains in the 
chrysohte.
