Mount Gee, Arkaroola - Paralana Hot Springs Rd, Arkaroola Village via Copley, SA
Photographs: None
List: Register of the National Estate
Class: Natural
Legal Status: Registered (28/09/1982)
Place ID: 5978
Place File No: 3/00/260/0059
Statement of Significance:
Spectacular mass of quartz crystal and vughular, lining the cavities of crush breccias. The controversy and research concerning the age and nature of these breccias and the underlying tillitic beds is of significance to crustal science and geological history, these beds having been assigned to the ancient basement complex (>1400 million years bp) of the Adelaide geosyncline. The quartz is of unusual to rare form, composition, variety and beauty. Fluorescent quartz is common and often associated with uranium minerals, some also rare. This uranium mineralisation is of potential economic importance.
(The Commission is in the process of developing and/or upgrading official statements for places listed prior to 1991. The above data was mainly provided by the nominator and has not yet been revised by the Commission.)
Official Values: Not Available
Description:
The spectacular Crystal Mountain of Mount Gee protrudes through the chaotic ridge-and-gorge landscape of the red granite highlands around Mount Painter and rises almost 250m from its valleys. Native pine (CALLITRIS COLUMELLARIS) clothe its slopes. Prominent outcrops of quartz-haematite breccia contain quartz of rare variety and beauty, ghosted, smoky or amethystine, rosetted or stalactitic, or the unique nailhole quartz consisting of radiating crystals in cylindrical masses round central prismatic cavities with shapes typical of gypsum. The uranium minerals present in some vughs are often inter-grown with fluorescent and radioactive quartz.
History: Not Available
Condition and Integrity:
Moderately good, although some damage has occurred, eg during an extensive uranium mineral survey (fortunately largely rectified by abnormally wet years from 1971 to 1976) and use of explosives for private mineral collection. Owners attempt to restrict use of four wheel drive access track to station personnel, mining companies and scientists.
Location:
About 80ha, 94km north-east of Copley, on Arkaroola - Paralana Hot Springs Road near Arkaroola Village. SH5409-Copley AMG points: 398540, 398548, 412548, 412540 and return.
