Beryl occurs in pegmatite dikes cutting quartzite of the Middle Proterozoic Aldridge Formation (Purcell Supergroup) and dioritic intrusions, probably related to the Proterozoic Moyie Intrusions. Very pale, glassy beryl crystals occur. Black tourmaline is abundant, as are muscovite and garnet but beryl is rare.
