Excerpt from Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences, Vol. 1: 1888 The great serpentine belt crossing the North Fork of the American River, above Dutch Flat, contains several deposits of chromite, some of which are worked on a small scale. While examining the ore from one of these occurrences - Green Valley, in the canon of the American River below Towle's on the Central Pacific Railroad - I found coatings, of a scaly mineral of a beautiful peach blossom color, together with smaller pieces of the same mineral in massive state. The substance proved to be a chlorite, and is most closely allied to that variety of clinochlore to which Kotscharow has given the rather harshly sounding name of kotschubeite.
