| ⓘ Helvine Formula: Be3Mn2+4(SiO4)3S Habit: tetrahedral, slightly cavernous showing trigonal indentations Colour: honey-brown Description: Two parallel-intergrown, translucent, 0.8mm crystals found on a single specimen associated with the other common site minerals. Crystal faces are slightly pitted with sub-vitreous luster, dusted with a small amount of sugary white alteration. Shows no fluoresence. Specimen is in the Yale Peabody Museum collection. |

| ⓘ 'K Feldspar var. Adularia' Formula: KAlSi3O8 Description: Micro crystals. References: |
| ⓘ 'Lanthanite' ? Habit: rectangular, blocky Colour: colorless Description: A single microcrystal specimen from the Bill Henderson micromount collection is held by the Yale Peabody Museum. Harold Moritz examined it on October 16, 2025. It consists of a 1mm cluster of very clear, pearly, colorless crystals sandwiched between some yellow mica in the typical Alpine-type clefts at this locality. The crystals appear rectangular and blocky (apparently orthorhombic) with some striations parallel to their long axes.
Some kind of analysis was apparently done because a label on the micromount box reads:
Lanthanite
Stratford
Conn
Analysis indices fit
A second small label says:
n[?] 1.573
> 1.573
