Detailed Mineral List:
| ⓘ Calcite Formula: CaCO3 Locality: New Paris Lime and Stone Co. Quarry, New Paris, Napier Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, USA Habit: crystaline massive Colour: white Description: White veins from 1-2 cm in zones on either side on main fluorite vein. scattered veins elsewhere in the quarry, crystals unreported. |
| ⓘ Fluorite Formula: CaF2 Locality: New Paris Lime and Stone Co. Quarry, New Paris, Napier Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, USA Habit: Occurs in multi-color transparent masses, octahedral cleavage, cubic crystals from 1 mm to 1 cm across, Rare, primary, two-phase fluid inclusions and more common secondary inclusions occupying healed fractures along cleavage planes. Fine crystal are unco Colour: pale green-yellow, pale blue, pale to medium purple Fluorescence: none noted Description: Occurs in multi-color transparent masses up to 5 cm, exhibiting perfect octahedral cleavage with a glassy luster on the cleaved surfaces. crystals are zoned parallel to the {111} cleavage direction from a small (1 cm) pale green-yellow core, to a main zone(2 cm) of an "ice-blue" color. Crystals able to continue growth into an open vug grade into a more common purple color. Crystals from this thin (0.5 cm) purple zone continued, producing cubic crystals from 1 mm to 1 cm across, zoned with altering bands of pale to medium color parallel to the (001) faces, thus the habit appears to have switched from octahedral to cubic at some time during formation of the intermediate blue zone. In narrower portions of the vein, color transition was directly from green to purple. Rare, primary, two-phase fluid inclusions and more common secondary inclusions occupying healed fractures along cleavage planes have been observed, with secondary inclusions containing gas and liquid in various ratios. Fine crystal are uncommon. |
| ⓘ 'Limonite' Locality: New Paris Lime and Stone Co. Quarry, New Paris, Napier Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, USA Habit: scattered traces Colour: brown-rust Description: Scattered traces occurring between the outer calcite walls and limestone host rock, likely the remnants of original trace pyrite which formed during the earliest development phase of the fluorite veins. |
| ⓘ Strontianite Formula: SrCO3 Locality: New Paris Lime and Stone Co. Quarry, New Paris, Napier Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, USA Habit: Acicular prisms Colour: white Fluorescence: bluish white Description: Rare, single acicular prisms associated with calcite in parts of quarry unassociated with the localities fluorite veins. |
