Middlesex County is a county in the south-central part of Connecticut, USA, bracketing the southeastern Connecticut River valley and including coastal lowlands along Long Island Sound. The county is characterized by rugged terrain, river valleys, and hills, with elevations generally modest compared to interior New England. The Connecticut River is a dominant geographic feature that serves as a navigation route to the interior. It is the only major river in New England without a city at its mouth. Coastal areas feature tidal marshes and estuaries, while inland terrain rises gradually toward the Appalachian uplands.
Geologically, Middlesex County lies within the New England Appalachian region and includes metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary rocks. Most of the bedrock consists of gneisses, schists, and granitic intrusions of Proterozoic to Paleozoic age, formed during multiple orogenic events including the Taconic, Acadian, and Alleghanian orogenies. The northwest part of the county includes Mesozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Hartford Basin, part of the Newark Supergroup, comprising red sandstones, shales, and basalt flows related to early rifting of Pangaea. Glacial till, lake sediments, outwash deltas and river alluvium blanket much of the bedrock geology.
Mineral resources in Middlesex County include building stone, traprock (basalt), sand, and gravel and pegmatite mining. Basalt from Jurassic lava flows is quarried locally for construction and road material, while granitic and gneissic rocks were used as dimension stone. A major pegmatite mining district was situated mostly in Portland, E. Hampton, Haddam, and in the White Rock area of southeastern Middletown where quarries reaching up to 1 km long. Gem tourmaline and beryl and other collectible minerals were obtained from several rare-element pegmatites.

Associated with cubic pyrite and chlorite crystals in spaces between vuggy albite in host schist Alpine-type openings.
Schooner (circa 1985) reports: "A micromount of anatase and rutile crystals, associated with adularia, was once collected at the Strickland quarry. Narrow alpine-type veins are encountered in the schist adjoining the pegmatite." |
| ⓘ Anglesite Formula: PbSO4 |
| ⓘ Anhydrite Formula: CaSO4 Habit: tabular Description: Like at most trap rock localities, anhydrite crystallized early in the paragenesis in fractures and vesicles, but then dissolved away. Tabular molds in later-forming mineral assemblages (quartz, calcite, datolite) reveal its former presence. References: |
| ⓘ Annabergite Formula: Ni3(AsO4)2 · 8H2O Habit: coatings Colour: bright to pale green Description: waxy, pale to bright green coatings on ore-bearing host rocks, particularly around bronze nickeline grains. |
| ⓘ Annite Formula: KFe2+3(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 Localities: Reported from at least 39 localities in this region. Colour: black Description: Formerly known as biotite. Williams (circa 1945) notes "large masses". |

| ⓘ Augelite Formula: Al2(PO4)(OH)3 Localities: Colour: gray Description: Specimens of metasomatically altered natromontebrasite, collected at the Strickland quarry around 1950 by Charles Thomas, consist of gray augelite crystals intergrown with pink brazilianite, pink hydroxylapatite, and yellow lacroixite. Very little such material was preserved, and most of it was consumed in study at the U.S. Geological Survey. Natromontebrasite was discredited in 2007, being a mixture of montebrasite, lacroixite, and wardite. |
| ⓘ Augite Formula: (CaxMgyFez)(Mgy1Fez1)Si2O6 Localities: Reed's Gap Quarry (New Haven Trap Rock quarry; Tilcon Durham quarry), Durham, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA Strickland Quarry, Strickland pegmatite, Collins Hill, Portland, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA Camptonite dike, Middlefield, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA Linkpot cut, Airline Railroad, East Hampton, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA Worth and Selden Quarries (Victoria Quarry), East Hampton, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA ? (more information) Habit: short prismatec Colour: black Description: With anorthite one of the two major rock-forming constituents of the basalt and normally very fine-grained and not of collector interest. However, euhedral phenocrysts to about 1 cm rarely occur. |

Fassaite Formula: (Ca,Na)(Mg,Fe2+,Al,Fe3+,Ti)[(Si,Al)2O6] Locality: Strickland Quarry, Strickland pegmatite, Collins Hill, Portland, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA Habit: massive granular Colour: brown Description: "A striking brown clinopyroxene, with a silky luster, collected at the Strickland quarry, gives an X-ray pattern closer to fassaite than diopside or augite. As learned from similar material, at the railroad cut two miles west, the surficial alteration is a smectite, corroborating the aluminum content. Fassaite also accompanies zoisite, quite abundantly, at ledges immediately west of the Strickland quarry." Schooner (circa 1985). |
| ⓘ Augite var. Titanium-bearing Augite Formula: (Ca,Na)(Mg,Ti, Fe,Al,)(Si,Al)2O6 |

Schooner (circa 1980s). References: |
| ⓘ Bementite ? Formula: Mn7Si6O15(OH)8 Description: Reported by Dick Schooner, reference gives no details. |
| ⓘ Formula: Fe3+6(PO4)4O(OH)4 · 6H2O Locality: State Forest Quarry No. 2, Cobalt, East Hampton, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA - erroneously reported Habit: coatings Colour: green Description: reported by Dick Schooner, no details in the reference. Visually identified by Van King from posted photographs but an XRD test made in the National Museum Prague (dr. Jiri Sejkora) of the green material with some matrix found "no beraunite but something similar to messelite" and apatite, which are the matrix species. EDS analysis shows green mineral is mitridatite. |

| ⓘ Beryl var. Heliodor Formula: Be3Al2(Si6O18) Localities: Reported from at least 10 localities in this region. Habit: elongated prisms with partial or complete pyramidal terminations Colour: yellow Description: "Beryl occurs in the pegmatite in yellow (“golden”), green, and blue euhedral crystals. In the border zone they range in size from 1/32 to 1/34 inch in diameter and from 1/2 inch to 2 1/2 inches long. Crystals as much as 8 inches in length and 1 inch in diameter occur in the core-margin zone." Cameron et al (1954): USGS Prof Paper 255;
"many crystals of golden beryl, sharp in form and of the finest gem quality. Indeed, this is one of the principal heliodor sources in North America. The Little collection, at Harvard University, contains some exceptionally fine clear golden crystals; they were obtained from masses of quartz, many years ago. Similar crystals are in various museums and private collections. Of late, several magnificent specimens of a different type have been recovered. Those are deeply etched, frosty-looking, greenish-golden gem crystals, from cavities along a fault (?) which runs through the lower end of the quarry. The Gallant collection includes a superb crystal, with round¬ed diamond-shaped etch-pits on virtually every surface. It is over two inches long." Schooner (1961). |

| ⓘ Bismuthinite Formula: Bi2S3 Localities: Reported from at least 16 localities in this region. Habit: prismatic, platy masses Colour: metallic gray Description: Huff et al (1996): Bismuthinite “occurs intimately associated with minor pyrite in small veins in the pegmatite and in the quartz vein – thus providing the necessary elements for alteration into bright green bismutoferrite. This is the first confirmation of bismutoferrite in Connecticut.”
As platy masses to striated crystals typically with green and yellow secondaries, in rust-stained pegmatite due to oxidation of associated pyrite. |
| ⓘ Bismutite Formula: (BiO)2CO3 Localities: Reported from at least 13 localities in this region. Habit: coatings Colour: straw yellow Description: yellow coatings on bismuthinite associated with bismutoferrite. |

Analyzed in 2017 by Peter Cristofono and Tom Mortimer. References: |
| ⓘ Bityite Formula: CaLiAl2(AlBeSi2O10)(OH)2 Locality: Strickland Quarry, Strickland pegmatite, Collins Hill, Portland, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA Habit: hexagonal Colour: white Description: Schooner (circa 1985) says: "When the Strickland quarry was last active, the author found a boulder of cleavelandite with a small vug of aggregated lustrous white hexagonal-looking crystals with calcite and a trace of lepidolite. It was many years before the mineral was recognized as being a mica! Its unusual X-ray pattern aroused some curiosity, and it was forwarded to Pete J. Dunn at the Smithsonian. He identified it as bityite, and made an analysis by electron microprobe." |
| ⓘ Brazilianite Formula: NaAl3(PO4)2(OH)4 Locality: Strickland Quarry, Strickland pegmatite, Collins Hill, Portland, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA Colour: pink Description: Schooner (circa 1985) says: "A few masses of Strickland quarry natromontebrasite, from the pollucite zone in the middle eastern wall, halfway down, are composed of intergrown metasomatic or hydrothermal alterations. Pink brazilianite, containing a trace of Mn (analysis by the USGS), is associated with augelite, lacroixite, and hydroxylapatite. This mineral was collected by Charles Thomas, and studied by Mary E. Mrose. Ronald E. Januzzi had earlier collected material, on the old dumps, in which the brazilianite occurs as confused white aggregates, with hydroxylapatite and possibly morinite." Natromontebrasite was discredited in 2007, being a mixture of montebrasite, lacroixite, and wardite. |
| ⓘ Breithauptite ? Formula: NiSb Description: No details in reference, all others cite this one. References: |
| ⓘ Bustamite Formula: CaMn2+(Si2O6) Habit: cleavable masses Colour: light pink Description: When the author discovered a large lens of spessartine at the Jail Hill quarry, in the 1950s, a few good specimens of pink "rhodonite" were collected. Two different shades were associated differently, one with spessartine and calcite (or dolomite), the other with tephroite and pyrophanite. X-ray and spectrographic tests have shown the lighter pink mineral to be bustamite, and the darker one pyroxmangite. In some cases, bustamite is intimately intergrown with johannsenite (probably an exsolution product). |
| ⓘ 'Calciomicrolite' Localities: Hewitt Gem Quarry (Herb's Gem Quarry; Sawmill Quarry), Haddam, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA White Rocks Quarry (Consolidated Quarry), White Rock Mining District, Middletown, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA Riverside Quarry (Western Quarry), White Rock Mining District, Middletown, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA Habit: octahedron modified by dodecahedron, trapezohedron and hexahedron. Colour: dark yellow green, brown, black Description: Typically as micro-crystals but can reach 8mm, most easily found in the aplitic zone, but in the intermediate zone and core margin also.
At least 4 crystals (tiny subhedral grains, 2 octahedral microcrystals and a single 21mm fragment) have been analyzed via SEM-EDS and in all cases the best match is calciomicrolite, with very little Na or Nb. Zones within the 21mm fragment were also analyzed and showed a Ca-Ta oxide with minor Nb (and no Na or Ti)...this could also be microlite, or perhaps calciotantite, which can occur as an inclusion in microlite. |

| ⓘ Cordierite Formula: Mg2Al4Si5O18 Localities: Reported from at least 11 localities in this region. Habit: pseudohexagonal prism, subhedral blocky to massive Colour: violet, blue, pale green Description: Shows good cleavage and typically gemmy, though some of it is altered to dull gray-green "fahlunite".
"The iolite has frequently been procured here in tabular plates, several inches across; and is remarkable for the facility with which it admits of cleavage into still thinner layers. This separation is undoubtedly promoted by the presence of exceedingly thin plates of what seems to be mica. The crystals are but seldom possessed of well defined lateral planes, in consequence of the implantation upon them of mica, albite, tourmaline, and more rarely of tabular spar. When perfect, however, they are either regular hexagonal prisms, or else this form, modified by the replacement of its lateral edges. Their color is a rich dark blue, with an occasional inclination to green; the depth of the color, as is usual in this species, is enhanced by the inspection of the plates in a direction perpendicularly to their cleavage." Shepard (1841)
"Many beautiful specimens of a clear blue color have been found and cut into gems, showing dichroism by transmitted light. Specimens of this mineral seen in the different collections and museums of this country, you will invariably see labeled from Haddam. The alterations of this mineral are met with here in large quantities." (Davis, 1901). |

The lepidolite was subsequently overgrown by pink fibrous muscovite. The fibers are rhombic in cross section and are in parallel or twin-position so that the mass can be cleaved as if a single crystal...The fibrous muscovite also occurs as inclusions in quartz crystals. The muscovite starts at a pin point in the quartz crystals interior and becomes a divergent sub-parallel bundle of fibers as it reaches the surface where it is often the preferred site for a cookeite hemisphere." |

| ⓘ Quartz var. Smoky Quartz Formula: SiO2 Localities: Reported from at least 32 localities in this region. Habit: hexagonal prisms with rhombohedral terminations, sometimes flattened or etched, or oddly shaped overgrowths on earlier fragments Colour: pale gray to black, brown Description: Besides being a major component of the pegmatite matrix in general, where it is massive, it is abundant in miarolitic cavities as euhedral crystals. Some show phantoms or inclusions of schernikite fibers and elbaite and some are encrusted with cookeite blebs or show surface pit scars where cookeite was naturally removed. One 1.8-meter pocket contained nothing but jet-black smoky quartz crystals up to 14 cm in length. Etched crystals or oddly-shaped overgrowths on earlier fragments of quartz also known. Beautiful, doubly terminated crystals are often penetrated by elbaite. "One of these crystals, very flat and with several tourmalines inclosed, was worn as a watch-charm by the son of M. P. Gillette. This crystal in its natural state has as fine a polish as though it had just come from the lapidary's hand." (Davis, 1901). |

| ⓘ Scheelite Formula: Ca(WO4) Localities: Reported from at least 9 localities in this region. Colour: white to pale gray Fluorescence: blue-white Description: After the Trumbull occurrence, this locality is probably the second best in Connecticut, though it was short-lived. Schooner (1958) states: "In December of [1953], on a most fortunate visit to the active Worth Quarry on Hog Hill in East Hampton, a couple of miles from the road cut locality, the author found a considerable amount of scheelite on the dump and even in the road. Trucks had been driving over one slab which must have weighed fifty or a hundred pounds! Several dozen very rich specimens, some of them pure masses up to three inches across and an inch thick, were collected. The color of this material was white or gray, and the fluorescence was vividly blue… though it was found during the day, without benefit of an ultra-violet light. The scheelite, with some greenish plagioclase and various sulfides, evidently came from quartz veins in the schist, adjacent to the pegmatite. The occurrence was not entirely erratic; in the summer of l954, W. P. Reid and the author obtained still more specimens. They showed broken crystals, up to two inches in diameter, in a matrix of quartz, grossularite, and either hornblende or actinolite. A few loose crystals, from one half to three quarters of an inch in diameter, were secured. Since that time, little if any scheelite has come out of the Worth Quarry... at least, to the author’s knowledge."
Schooner (1961) provides a similar description: "The best locality is the active Worth Quarry on Hog Hill in East Hampton, where the mineral occurs in quartz veins adjacent to the pegmatite. On one occasion, in 1953, just after the author had become interested in the mineral, he collected perhaps a hundred pounds of scheelite specimens at this locality. Many loose pieces, up to a couple of inches across, were picked up on the dump; a large slab, about a foot square, consisted of virtually pure scheelite, between thin layers of biotite schist. A little pyrite and pyrrhotite accompanied the scheelite. On subsequent occasions, more examples were obtained… including several well developed crystals, half an inch in diameter. Among the later discoveries at the Worth Quarry, the scheelite has been in various matrices; they included actinolite and hornblende, with a gray plagioclase, probably labradorite, and a brownish grossularite. The scheelite is always highly fluorescent." |

| ⓘ Formula: CoAs3 Locality: Great Hill cobalt mines, Cobalt, East Hampton, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA - erroneously reported Description: "Shepard [1837] initially identified the Co-Ni bearing arsenide as the cubic di-arsenide, smaltite but after obtaining and studying additional material from his own mine he pronounced it to be a new orthorhombic tri-arsenide for which he proposed the name "Chathamite"....In the mid 1850s Genth (in Goodrich, 1854) questioned Shepard's identification and suggested that Chathamite was simply an iron rich variety of the cubic arsenide chloanthite (a misconception that perpetuated up to, and including, the 7th edition of Dana's Manual of Mineralogy). As it turns out, Shepard's Chathamite is indeed orthorhombic, but today would be classified as a nickel-cobalt rich loellingite." Gray (2005) |

(more information) Habit: elongated prisms Colour: exterior tan to pale grey, interior white to lavender Fluorescence: lavender-pink in SW, orange-pink in LW Description: Tons of fragmented crystals were in the dumps, many well terminated. Most crystals etched on the exterior to a "woody" appearance, some crystals altered to pinite. The interior of good crystals is white to lavender and translucent with some rare gem material. Schooner (1958) says that "Rather large crystals, a yard long and a foot wide, were abundant when the locality was active. During the last period of operation, in l954, a great deal of the mineral was uncovered in the lower east wall of the main pit. Part of a wedge-shaped vein of lithium minerals was composed of virtually solid white spodumene. Green and lavender material was also present there, associated with pollucite, amblygonite, lepidolite, and cleavelandite. Most of the green and some of the pink has a good orange fluorescence and a vivid and long sustained orange phosphorescence under short-wave ultra-violet light. Cleavages are still found in the old dumps. Several fine specimens of translucent to semi-transparent light purple kunzite have been secured in recent years." |

X-ray confirmation was obtained from a number of samples. Spurrite also is mixed with the granular wollastonite and its embedded minute gehlenite crystals; only X-ray peaks revealed its presence in that material." Studied by Waldemar T. Schaller of USGS. |

Analyses, even just SG, are generally lacking. Schooner (1958) reports: "W. G. Foye reported [it] in 1929. An analysis of such material, made for Ronald Januzzi, showed the manganese oxide content to be 13.96% [but what are the other elements' abundances?]. Many rich specimens have been found on the old dumps. The author obtained several superb examples at the vein of lithium minerals in the bottom of the quarry, in 1954. Half inch crystals, and larger masses, were embedded in a matrix of cleavelandite and amblygonite [montebrasite]. The material showed a gradation from dark brown to bright red... the latter nearly transparent and of great beauty. Some was iridescent. The luster was resinous and the manganotantalite exhibited a perfect parting which gave it a micaceous appearance."
But some more brown crystals have later proven to be wodginite, which was not recognized in 1958.
Many reddish crystals with some transparency have been labeled tantalite-(Mn) but visually could be columbite-(Mn) and such crystals without supporting analyses should be labeled as columbite-(Mn)-tantalite-(Mn) series. |

An additional three specimens were collected in the 1980's by David Busha but remained unidentified until 2019. |
| ⓘ Tephroite Formula: Mn2+2(SiO4) Habit: anhedral Colour: tan, brown, dark brown Description: Reported by Dick Schooner. Specimens mostly are pure masses of anhedral grains, or scattered grains associated with bustamite and spessartine, all with black staining. According to Schooner:
"Several bodies of more complex mineralogy, within the spessartine, consisted for the most part of brownish tephroite, intimately intergrown with dolomite and kutnohorite, as well as yellow spessartine, alleghanyite, jacobsite, pyrophanite, etc. A few solid dark gray resinous-looking cleavages, up to an inch, were obtained. The main concentration was eventually removed as a boulder, over two feet in diameter, which may well hold the world's record for toughness; it took the author two days of steady pounding to reduce it!" |

| ⓘ Triplite Formula: Mn2+2(PO4)F Localities: Habit: massive Colour: reddish to maroon Description: As irregular masses, commonly in bunches intergrown with blue elbaite and dark purple lepidolite and hosted by cleavelandite/elbaite/quartz. Tan alteration rind around the edges is probably hydroxylapatite (see below) and Schooner reports finding hureaulite. These minerals are characteristic of alteration from primary lithiophilite but none has ever been reported, so it is difficult to say if the triplite is primary. Masses of garnet may appear similar, but are harder and show a network of rhombic etch patterns on fracture surfaces. Descriptions from the literature are below:
Shannon (1920) - "bunches and masses up to several inches across of a flesh red to brownish red material resembling massive garnet, which upon analysis proves to be triplite...In places the triplite has oxidized to a black manganese oxide, which stains the cleavelandite."
Foye (1922) - "intimately intergrown with a dark blue, massive tourmaline".
Schooner (1958) – "Large masses, up to a foot square, occurred in a mixture of that mineral and cleavelandite. The author was fortunate in securing a large specimen of completely fresh material from a weathered boulder on the oldest dump. Most examples show what are probably crude crystals, bordered with blue tourmaline. Much of the triplite is altered to a cellular tan mineral which has not been thoroughly identified. One piece, evidently from deep in the pegmatite, has undergone a more complex alteration to a foliated dull green substance…negatively identified as not being dickinsonite. Such material could easily be confused with chloritized garnet. Indeed, the fresh triplite resembles massive garnet; its comparative softness and its cleavages should distinguish it. Mary E. Mrose x-rayed this triplite for the author and found it to give a characteristic pattern. E. V. Shannon, who originally described the occurrence in 1920, gave the following analysis: calcium oxide 3.18, magnesium oxide 0.58, iron oxide 4.95, manganese oxide 52.40, phosphorous oxide 32.81, fluorine 9.09, water 0.35, and remainder 1.17. The specific gravity of the sample was 3.58."
Schooner (1961) - "Reddish-brown cleavages, bordered with blue tourmaline, definitely identified as such, were apparently quite common in the original lepidolite pit, where that mineral, together with quartz and cleavelandite, occurred as coarse intergrowths. The author found a solid mass, over six inches across, in the old dump there; some of the triplite bodies must easily have been a foot in diameter. In many cases, the triplite is partially or completely altered to a granular yellow or tan mineral; x-ray study proves this to be apatite, of a surprisingly normal kind. This work was done by Peacor."

Rohrback Quarry), Haddam Neck, Haddam, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA ? (more information) Strickland Quarry, Strickland pegmatite, Collins Hill, Portland, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA ? (more information) Habit: elongated, terminated prisms and cleavable masses Colour: dark blue Description: "transparent blue vivianite crystals, some spear-shaped, in vugs of messelite and siderite...While the vivianite crystals are small, they are of fine quality." (Schooner 1961) Also as coatings on triphylite and associated with messelite, siderite, mitridatite, strunzite and sulfides. |
| ⓘ Wardite Formula: NaAl3(PO4)2(OH)4 · 2H2O Locality: Strickland Quarry, Strickland pegmatite, Collins Hill, Portland, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA Description: Schooner (circa 1985) reports that "Wardite and wavellite occurred in a fine-grained replacement of natromontebrasite from the Strickland quarry. The rest of the sample was quartz. X-ray study revealed their existence." Natromontebrasite was discredited in 2007 as a mixture of wardite, montebrasite and lacroixite, which were all documented here by the study Schooner mentions. |

| ⓘ Wodginite Formula: Mn2+Sn4+Ta2O8 Localities: Habit: tapered, elongated prisms Colour: dark brown with iridescence Description: Fantastic tapered crystals, 2 to 6 cm long, translucent and sometimes showing a little iridescence. Typically in cleavelandite, associated with cassiterite, foitite grading into elbaite, gobbinsite and quartz. Long misidentified as cassiterite or tantalite-(Mn) (going back to even 1935 - see Jarnot (2011)) and too bad as it was not "discovered" until 1963 in Canada and Australia. Strickland could have been the type locality had it been recognized as a new mineral when the quarry was active.
Schooner (circa 1990) summarizes its identification:
A decade ago, the author found a loose 4 inch mass of montebrasite, studded with sharply formed little dark brown crystals, on one of the Strickland quarry dumps. These were tentatively classified as manganotantalite, despite visual differences. The X-ray pattern was later rechecked, with wodginite in mind, and the fit was close enough to warrant a spectrographic test, which showed the presence of tin. Pete J. Dunn and Peter Cerny have since made probe studies of the material. The original mass was broken into several rich specimens. The wodginite is in equant crystals, transparent under magnification, with a few little tabular amber crystals of manganotantalite. This material obviously represented only part of a concentration of wodginite in montebrasite. Several years ago, Bruce Jarnot encountered a small cleavelandite boulder, on the long narrow dump along the western edge of the hill, yielding maybe a dozen superb thumbnails of sharp, euhedral, reddish-black wodginite crystals, of a pyramidal aspect, up to almost an inch. These, too, were thought to be manganotantalite, until X-ray study proved them to be wodginite. At that point, the author became suspicious of an iridescent brown mineral, embedded in columnar green elbaite, collected around 1950. The X-ray pattern shows it to be wodginite, in yet another habit. Obviously, the mineral has been mistaken for other things! |
| ⓘ Wollastonite Formula: Ca3(Si3O9) Locality: Strickland Quarry, Strickland pegmatite, Collins Hill, Portland, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA Habit: granular, bladed Colour: white Fluorescence: orange Description: Found by Schooner in 1953 and 1954, and reported in Schooner (1955):
"It is pure white in color, and granular massive in form. Fairly large pieces were obtained from the cores of lenticular quartz-actinolite-grossularite-diopside "horses" [pods] in biotite schist, from near the pegmatite. The mineral is photosensitive, turning brown and ugly if exposed to sunlight for very long. It is faintly fluorescent, in a pale orange tint, and strongly phosphorescent, in a brighter shade of the same color, under short-wave ultra-violet radiations".
In Schooner (1958) there is more information: "W. T. Schaller, of the U. S. Geological Survey, made an optical study of this wollastonite, to determine its manganese content through a correlation with the refractive index…which was 1.632, indicating about one percent of iron and manganese oxides."
Followed by this passage in Schooner (circa 1985): "Waldemar T. Schaller studied samples submitted by the author. The wollastonite, with tiny embedded tan gehlenite crystals, and occasional light yellow crystals of grossularite, occupies the centers of a few pods, surrounded by concentric zones of fine-grained tan grossularite, white quartz, and greenish diopside. Spurrite, larnite, vesuvianite, and calcite are rarely associated. Spurrite may, indeed, be mixed, granularly, with wollastonite. Small bladed crystals of wollastonite are seen on a few specimens." |
