A small outcrop near the hamlet of Rhoscolyn in the Parish of Rhoscolyn. Magnetite crystals to a maximum of about 7mm across, but more typically 1-2mm, occurred associated with chromite in chlorite schists.
The magnetite crystals occurred in a very localised area (see site photo) that has subsequently been worked out.
