According to a Hiller (1967), an occurrence apparently exposed in rock cuts SE of Caraluzzi's Market (Supermarket) at the SE intersection of state Route 57 and Old Mill Road. This is in the Redding portion of Georgetown village, which is mostly in Wilton. An old specimen label calls it the "Georgetown A&P". Zeolites and associates found in fractures in Ordovician Ratlum Mountain schist.

Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ Albite
Formula: Na(AlSi3O8)
Habit: micro druse
Colour: white
Description: Lining cavities as a druse of micro crystals that are overgrowths of schist matrix albite.
ⓘ 'Apophyllite Group'
Formula: AB4[Si8O22]X · 8H2O
Habit: bipyramidal modified by prism
Colour: white
Description: crystals to 5mm associated with natrolite
ⓘ Harmotome
Formula: Ba2(Si12Al4)O32 · 12H2O
ⓘ 'Heulandite Subgroup'
Formula: (Na/Ca/K)5-6[Al8-9 Si27-28 O72] · nH2O
ⓘ Marcasite
Formula: FeS2
ⓘ Melanterite
Formula: Fe2+(H2O)6SO4 · H2O
ⓘ Mesolite
Formula: Na2Ca2Si9Al6O30 · 8H2O
Habit: acicular, radiating
Colour: white
Description: At least some of what has been considered natrolite (visually) from this locality proved to be mesolite (EDS), though other crystals could still be natrolite.
✪ Natrolite
Formula: Na2Al2Si3O10 · 2H2O
Habit: acicular with flat pyramidal termination
Colour: colorless, white
Description: Radiating open sprays of individual crystals, at least 1 cm long. At least one potential natrolite specimen has proven to be mesolite (via EDS), so perhaps more or all are actually the latter mineral.
ⓘ 'Stilbite Subgroup'
Formula: M6-7[Al8-9Si27-28O72] · nH2O
