The site is now partially built over, but some access may remain on the surface. Mindat does say its built over, but there does seem to be some visible areas still on satellite views.
Mindat lists 40 minerals from the site, including fine specimens of several zeolite species – heulandite, mesolite, thomsonite. Of particular interest is the prehnite from the site, which was often very nice.
