Details	Directions
This is a brand new roadcut location that I plundered everything I could find at the eye-level. Well, I tried to be thorough but then I tried to be quick since my wife was shopping. There is a lot of calcite here, especially ranging from tan color, amber color, to brown. There was also some dark bladed crystals that was a little purplish. There is also marcasite, specks of pyrite on calcite, limonite, and greenish inclusions in the calcite that I think is malachite on top of marcasite. Crystal varieties range from nub shapes to bladed crystals.	Off of the Blue Route Roark Valley Road) going north from Main St. (76) take a left on the new section of Falls Creek Rd. Immediately you will see the roadcut all the way up the hill. This is where I searched.
