En vannfylt synk drevet ned i kanten av skrent, rett ved bekk. Synken er ca. 3 x 3 m i diameter og antakelig 1-1.5 m dyp. Mineralisering består av spredte, opptil cm-store aggregater av kobberkis og spredte, 1-3 mm kuber av pyritt i klorittskifer. Pyritt opptrer også spredt i finkornet, silisifisert amfibolitt. Kobberkis-aggregatene er typisk utstrukket parallell skifrigheten i klorittskiferen. Klorittskiferen innholder også elongerte linser av kvarts.
