Details: I saw an ebay Wavellite specimen that was claimed to originate from this location, so I thought I'd track it for future reference. I do not know the mine owners, and you could only try contacting them before searching. According to mindat this is a quartz mine
Directions: According to the mindat link this location is 4 miles east of Norman on the south slope of High Peak. Apparently it is in crystal mountain sandstone. My GPS coordinates are my best guess from Google Earth where it looks like the quartz mine is.
