Wood's Mine
A former Cr mine located near Texas, approximately 6 miles (ca. 10 km) N of Rising Sun, MD, USA.
Mineralization is a Cr deposit hosted in serpentine.
Note: Texas is rarely designated on most regional maps.
Note: As of Summer 2012, the property/mine is closed to collectors.
Concerning zaratite:
In an investigation of the status of zaratite, a single study sample from Woods Mine (Texas) of zaratite was analyzed by multiple methods and found to be near gaspéite. The authors' data suggest that the natural nickel hydroxycarbonate materials from the three various locality samples employed, including its type locality, collectively referred to as ‘zaratite’ on the basis of colour, occurrence and poor crystallinity, are in fact so diverse in terms of Ni/C/H ratios that the ‘zaratite’ term should not deserve a species status and so remains highly questionable (Garcia-Guinea et al., 2014).
Concerning dozyite: see: https://www.mindat.org/mesg-659554.html
Concerning "chromite": all analyzed samples of chrome ore from Wood Mine have been found to be magnesiochromite. See: Pearre, Nancy C., and Allen Van Heyl. Chromite and other mineral deposits in serpentine rocks of the Piedmont Upland, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware. No. 1082. US Government Printing Office, 1960.

| ⓘ Antigorite Formula: Mg3(Si2O5)(OH)4 Habit: thin lamellar, laminae easily separable into translucent folia Colour: leek green to violet in "chromium" variety Description: Antigorite occurs both with typical leek green coloration and the violet coloration of so named "Chromium" Antigorite. Specimens of Chromium Antigorite were often reffered to as Kammererite, or Chromium Clinoclore, but this is inaccurate. (see www.pennminerals.com/museum.htm for a good image of an actual, and very rare, Kammererite from Woods Chrome). Specimens of Chromium Antigorite from this occurance even fall somewhat short of a true Antigorite identity, but is closest to this family member of the Sepentine group. |

Williamsite Formula: Mg3(Si2O5)(OH)4 Habit: micro-fiberous Colour: Apple green to Emerald green Description: A beautiful Apple Green variety, Williamsite, first described at Woods Chrome in 1849 by Lewis W. Williams, whom also first described Zaratite (Emerald Nickel) the same year. Williamsite is a semi-precious variety of Sepentine, usually in association with chromite. |

Crystals from here are rich and well developed, in numerous modifications including large tabular crystals and occasional groups in rosettes. coloration from this locale tends towards pale green coloration in the richest specimens. |

Chromite, the Major ore at Wood's Mine. By 1874 report, Chromite production in PA was already waining, however the production to date at Wood's Mine of 120,000 tons, exceeded 20 times the production of all other PA chomite mining localities combined. References: |

| ⓘ Zaratite ? Formula: Ni3(CO3)(OH)4 · 4H2O ? Habit: crystaline massive veins and coatings typical, admixture with Dolomite Colour: Brilliant Green Fluorescence: none Description: Lewis W. Williams first described Zaratite, as "Emerald Nickel" at Wood's Chrome Mine in 1849, nearly making Wood's Chome Mine "Type Locale" for the species. (TL: Spain 1851) Frequently occuring in admixture with micro crystals of dolomite, referred to localy as "pennite".
According to the Garcia-Guinea reference, this material is gaspeite, not zaratite; and further, zaratite is considered a complex mixture. More work needs to be done to determine if all of the 'zaratite' from Wood's Chrome Mine is gaspeite, or encompasses several species.
