It was a highly popular stone when actively mined, and after getting his fill, the original mine owner left the mine to the county as a public mine for all to access. Sadly, the National Forest service decided this wasn't appropriate and spent considerable funds to cover the public deposit with loads of dirt to make it undiggable.
