Section of Haddam on the east side of the Connecticut River, often mistaken as a separate town or as part of East Hampton. The "neck" refers to its physical character as a peninsula, with the Salmon River on the east and the Connecticut River on the southwest.

"Granite", actually a biotite to hornblende gneiss, was first quarried here on Quarry Hill above Injun Hollow Road ca. 1762 (Field, 1819). Many of the extensive quarries intersected small pegmatites, some of which were quarried for feldspar and feature the occasional miarolitic cavity with beryl, schorl or elbaite. Dedicated feldspar quarries also are present, including the Rock Landing Quarry and the famous Gillette Quarry, which produced thousands of euhedral smoky quartz and elbaite crystals in miarolitic pockets. From 1917 until circa the late 1930s, the Tidewater Feldspar Company had a mill on the riverbank just west of the Rock Landing promontory and operated the Rock Landing Quarry and perhaps other smaller, poorly documented pegmatite workings in the area.

Metamorphic minerals such as graphite, kyanite, anthophyllite have been reported in vaguely described places by Davis (1901) and Williams (1899 and circa 1945). Such as "Graphite near the path leading to Haddam Neck Cong. Church, also Cyanite."

Albite
Formula: Na(AlSi3O8)
Localities: Reported from at least 8 localities in this region.
Habit: either flattened parallel to b {010} or elongated parallel to x {bar101}, and aggregated in parallel or twin-position to form a group which presents the aspect of a large crystal elongated in the direction of the axis b.
Colour: colorless to white
Description: A major component of the pegmatite, but also lining miarolitic cavities with clear, colorless to white, well-developed crystals to 2.5 cm in diameter, sometimes displaying a beautiful opalescence (Scovil, 1992).

Muscovite var. Schernikite (FRL)
Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
Type Locality:
Habit: Rhombic fibers in parallel or twin-position
Colour: white, tan, pink
Description: A variety of pink fibrous muscovite so far unique to Gillette, as described by Scovil (1992): "Bowman (1902) goes into great detail in his analysis of muscovite and lepidolite from Gillette. The two form interesting overgrowths, with pale green muscovite at the center. This core is surrounded by a sharply defined zone of pink lepidolite. 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
Formula: SiO2
Localities: Reported from at least 8 localities in this region.

Habit: massive
Colour: pink
Quartz var. Smoky Quartz
Formula: SiO2
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)

Scorzalite ?
Formula: Fe2+Al2(PO4)2(OH)2
Colour: blue
Description: "Several lean examples of scorzalite and siderite, labeled "Rock Landing quarry", came from the Charles Thomas collection. They had been obtained when the locality was active in the late 1930s. The scorzalite, erroneously called "vivianite" on the label, is of a rich blue color and partly crystallized. The X-ray pattern suggests a composition somewhere between scorzalite and lazulite. A little augelite is intergrown." Schooner (circa 1980s).
Siderite ?
Formula: FeCO3
Description: "Several lean examples of scorzalite and siderite, labeled "Rock Landing quarry", came from the Charles Thomas collection. They had been obtained when the locality was active in the late 1930s." Schooner (circa 1980s), who also reported augelite, fairfieldite, and graftonite, suggesting they may have really come from the Palermo mine.
Sillénite ?
Formula: Bi12SiO20

Spessartine ?
Formula: Mn2+3Al2(SiO4)3

Sphalerite
Formula: ZnS
Description: "observed with limonite and black tourmaline" Schooner (1958)
Spodumene ?
Formula: LiAlSi2O6
Description: Given the absence of common spodumene crystals, the casually reported gemstones of the pink variety kunzite could simply have been morganite beryl; and a waxy butterscotch colored purported spodumene crystal measuring 1.5 x 2.0 x 5.0 cm altered to “pinite” is likely a muscovite pseudomorph after topaz, which are documented and in this size range.
'Stilbite Subgroup'
Formula: M6-7[Al8-9Si27-28O72] · nH2O
'Tantalite' ?
Formula: (Mn,Fe)(Ta,Nb)2O6
Description: Januzzi (1976) merely stated: "Although tantalite has not been officially reported from western Connecticut, it undoubtedly occurs at some of the localities listed for columbite." Schooner (1959) included it in his list of minerals but gave no supporting information.

Formula: Th(SiO4)
Description: Yale Peabody Museum specimen 044598.
Thorite var. Thorogummite
Formula: (Th,U)(SiO4)1-x(OH)4x

Greasy, orange-brown crystals are partially or wholly altered to muscovite and were earlier mistaken for "pinite" pseudomorphs after spodumene.
Torbernite
Formula: Cu(UO2)2(PO4)2 · 12H2O
Habit: tabular, micros

Description: With other calc-silicate minerals in a vein in the gneissic wall rock. Found by Schooner in 1953 and 1954. Confirmed by an x-ray diffraction test made by Mary E. Mrose of the U. S. Geological Survey. The largest specimen was six inches in length and half as wide.
Vivianite ?
Formula: Fe2+Fe2+2(PO4)2 · 8H2O
Description: "replaces triphylite on specimens of graftonite" from the Charles Thomas collection as reported by Schooner (circa 1980s), along with augelite, fairfieldite, graftonite, siderite, and scorzalite, suggesting the pieces came from the Palermo mine.
Zircon
Formula: Zr(SiO4)

Formula: (CaCa)(AlAlAl)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH)
Zoisite var. Thulite
Formula: {Ca2}{Al,Mn3+3}(Si2O7)(SiO4)O(OH)
