Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ Anatase
Formula: TiO2
Description: Occurances at approximately the 40 01'02"N, 76 31'31"W portion of the quarry. Microcrystals (< 0.2 mm) occuring in calcite or directly on the phyllite schist, along veinlets. Larger xtls found in upper levels within several milky quartz pods, typically 30cm by 6 to 15 m in length. Associated with Brookite occasionally as an alteration of Ilmenite.
ⓘ 'Biotite'
Formula: K(Fe2+/Mg)2(Al/Fe3+/Mg/Ti)([Si/Al/Fe]2Si2O10)(OH/F)2
ⓘ Brookite
Formula: TiO2
Habit: Microcrystals to larger, thin, platy xtls, deeply striates parallel to their length.
Colour: transparent (micro-xtls), to light brown
Description: Occurances at approximately the 40 01'02"N, 76 31'31"W portion of the quarry. Microcrystals occuring in calcite or directly on the phyllite schist, along veinlets. Larger xtls found in within several milky quartz pods, typically 30cm by 6 to 15 m in length. Associated with Anatase occasionally as an alteration of Ilmenite.
ⓘ Calcite
Formula: CaCO3
ⓘ Clinochlore
Formula: Mg5Al(AlSi3O10)(OH)8
References:
Doris Chambers
ⓘ Dolomite
Formula: CaMg(CO3)2
ⓘ Galena
Formula: PbS
Habit: massive with octahedral and cubic parting
Colour: metalic silver-grey
Fluorescence: N/A
Description: similar to galena from the Pequea-Burnt Mills "silver mines" (located 19 km southeast of the quarry).
ⓘ Galena var. Silver-bearing Galena
Formula: PbS with Ag
Habit: massive with octahedral and cubic parting
Colour: metalic silver-grey
Fluorescence: N/A
Description: similar to galena from the Pequea-Burnt Mills "silver mines" (located 19 km southeast of the quarry).
ⓘ Ilmenite
Formula: Fe2+TiO3
Habit: platy, lusterous
Colour: Black
Description: Occasionally found partly replaced by/altering to Anatase or Brookite.
ⓘ 'K Feldspar'
ⓘ 'K Feldspar var. Adularia'
Formula: KAlSi3O8
ⓘ 'Monazite Group'
Formula: REE(PO4)
Habit: single tabular crystals, rarely as radiating clusters of twins. Resinous luster.
Colour: clear honey yellow
Fluorescence: neodymium-green color under unfiltered shortwave UV light
Description: Occurrs in quartz veins cutting phyllite schist, associated with ilmenite plates altering to anatase or brookite (scarce).
ⓘ Muscovite
Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
ⓘ Pyrite
Formula: FeS2
Habit: cubic crystals
Description: Sparse occurrances reported within Anatase occurrance.
ⓘ Pyrrhotite
Formula: Fe1-xS
ⓘ Quartz
Formula: SiO2
ⓘ Rutile
Formula: TiO2
Habit: reticulated
Colour: yellow (golden)
Fluorescence: N/A
Description: Reported by A. Montgomery (PA Min. pg. 129), observed on a few Anatase crystals. Not confirmed/observed by Smith in 1976 report (rare).
ⓘ Sphalerite
Formula: ZnS
Colour: dark orange-brown
Description: Abundant along quartz veins cutting Phyllite schist (reported within the Anatase micro-crystal occurrances).
