| ⓘ Albite Formula: Na(AlSi3O8) Locality: Biermann Quarries (Bethel quarries; Codfish Hill Quarry), Bethel, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA Habit: massive, tabular, blocky angular overgrowths Colour: white Description: Vast majority is massive primary pegmatite constituent. Secondary crystals occur as micro-overgrowths on walls of small voids and as part of a suite of micro-minerals pseudomorphing beryl. |
| ⓘ Almandine Formula: Fe2+3Al2(SiO4)3 Locality: Biermann Quarries (Bethel quarries; Codfish Hill Quarry), Bethel, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA Habit: trapezohedral Colour: maroon Description: Massive material, commonly with blue-green to white fluorapatite. References: |
| ⓘ Annite Formula: KFe2+3(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 Locality: Biermann Quarries (Bethel quarries; Codfish Hill Quarry), Bethel, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA Colour: black Description: minor accessory mineral |
| ✪ Bertrandite Formula: Be4(Si2O7)(OH)2 Locality: Biermann Quarries (Bethel quarries; Codfish Hill Quarry), Bethel, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA Habit: multiple forms, from simple to complex and as various twins. Usually flattened, elongated, or blocky. Colour: colorless Description: Micro-crystals and aggregates in voids left by dissolved beryl crystals. Also part of a suite of micro-minerals pseudomorphing beryl crystals. |
| ⓘ Beryl Formula: Be3Al2(Si6O18) Locality: Biermann Quarries (Bethel quarries; Codfish Hill Quarry), Bethel, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA Habit: Hexagonal prisms elongated along c axis. Commonly tapered. Colour: orange-yellow, pale yellow to pale green, brown when altered Description: Crystals can be large (over 60 cm), though typically subhedral, and multi-colored, and varying from partly gemmy to brown, opaque, and altered to a fine-grained mixture of bertrandite, muscovite, adularia, quartz and albite. Many crystals are found frozen in matrix in a subparallel arrangement with one end rooted in a layer mica. |
| ⓘ Bismutite Formula: (BiO)2CO3 Locality: Biermann Quarries (Bethel quarries; Codfish Hill Quarry), Bethel, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA Habit: earthy, as pseudomorphs after bismuthinite Colour: gray Description: earthy gray pseudomorphs after elongated, striated bismuthinite crystals up to a few cms. |
| ⓘ Calcite Formula: CaCO3 Habit: scalenohedral Colour: colorless to white Description: Mostly as a rock-forming mineral in the Stockbridge Marble, but rarely as crystals in fractures in the marble, usually scalenohedral. References: |
| ⓘ Cerussite Formula: PbCO3 Locality: Biermann Quarries (Bethel quarries; Codfish Hill Quarry), Bethel, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA Habit: equant, dipyramidal, pseudo-hexagonal Colour: Yellowish white Description: In addition to free-growing crystals, the cerussite is also found as megascopic and microscopic crystalline masses and grains associated with wulfenite and pyromorphite. |
| ⓘ 'Chlorite Group' Locality: Biermann Quarries (Bethel quarries; Codfish Hill Quarry), Bethel, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA Habit: massive and micaceous in the schist, pseudohexagonal in the pegmatite Colour: dark green in the schist, in the pegmatite as zoned nearly black interior and white exterior. Description: Abundant in the schist near the pegmatite. Also very rarely as tiny crystals and crusts in voids in the pegmatite. |
| ✪ 'Columbite-(Fe)-Columbite-(Mn) Series' Locality: Biermann Quarries (Bethel quarries; Codfish Hill Quarry), Bethel, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA Habit: flat, elongated prisms or subhedral masses Colour: black, with iridescence Description: Good prismatic crystals formed in quartz, also hand-sized subhedral masses with striations from neighboring muscovite. Januzzi (1976) reports that a beryl crystal with a large columbite crystal projecting from it was donated to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. The ID is generic, at least one crystal was tested using Raman spectroscopy and the best match is tantalite-(Fe) (see entry). A crystal formerly in the Bill Shelton collection has a specific gravity of 6.7, making it clearly a columbite species. References: |
| ⓘ 'Cymatolite' ? Locality: Biermann Quarries (Bethel quarries; Codfish Hill Quarry), Bethel, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA Description: The complete absence of spodumene at Biermann makes the occurence of cymatolite here hightly unlikely. Quite possibly the reported find was a cymatolite found at the Fillow Quarry (not too far away) and discard by a collector at Biermann. |
| ✪ 'Dravite-Schorl Series' Habit: elongated prismatic with trigonal terminations Colour: black to very dark brown Description: Short to elongated (along c axis) prisms with simple rhombohedral terminations, commonly doubly.
Januzzi: (1994): "I was recently informed (Schooner, private communication) that outstanding tourmaline crystals were collected, at the Bierman Quarry, that were between 4-5 inches long and about 2½ inches in width. These dravites occurred, in an area of tourmaline bearing schist, bordering the pegmatite dike.
Fine doubly terminated crystals of tourmaline occur in the mica schist in the immediate area of the pegmatite locality. The crystals show the typical hemihedral form with well developed rhombohedral terminations; more than the usual number of prismatic faces are present so that the characteristic vertical striations often seen on specimens of tourmaline are wanting in the well formed specimens." |
| ⓘ 'Fergusonite' ? Locality: Biermann Quarries (Bethel quarries; Codfish Hill Quarry), Bethel, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA Colour: brownish yellow Description: reported by Januzzi (1976) as "a small, brownish yellow nodule in feldspar". No analysis reported, no other finds reported/confirmed. |

| ⓘ Grossular Formula: Ca3Al2(SiO4)3 Habit: massive Colour: pale orange Description: In a calc-silicate rock with vesuvianite and quartz. |

| ⓘ Muscovite Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 Locality: Biermann Quarries (Bethel quarries; Codfish Hill Quarry), Bethel, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA Habit: tabular subhedral Colour: silvery to pale olive green Description: Major accessory pegmatite mineral, in books up to several 10s of cm, pseudmorphing schorl, or as part of a suite of microminerals pseudomorphing beryl: bertrandite, adularia, albite, quartz. |
