The Vox vein is hosted by an older quartz- (~5%; 0.5–1 mm) feldspar- (1%; 0.5–1 mm) porphyritic rhyolite dike, which is cut by the Powell quartz-diorite and a porphyritic tonalite dike. The vein does not coincide with a mafic dike, but with a structure that dextrally offsets the porphyritic tonalite dike by 20 m in map view. The Vox vein is on average 1 to 2 m thick, but it pinches and swells (up to 5 m thick) along strike. Where thickest, it contains angular, altered wall-rock fragments. There are several smaller, 10- to 20-cm-wide, subparallel quartz-breccia veins that crosscut the host rocks in the hanging wall up to ~100 m away from the main Vox vein.
