The Mistake lode is a near vertical fissure lode which has been worked intermittently for fluorite and tungsten.
Paragenesis as seen in polished slabs is as follows: 1. granite brecciation, silicification, with silica flooding infill; 2. colloform quartz |
infill; 3. brecciation, with crystalline quartz-wolframite infill; 4. fluorite infill; |
5. more fracturing with fluorite-quartz infill; 6. further fracturing with quartz-fluorite infill; late-stage fracturing with crystalline fluorite |
on margins and brown, chalcedonic quartz in the centre. |
