Amygdaloidal basalt. This site is usually referred to as the "Perry Agate locality" or "Loring Cove Agate locality"; however, the quality of agate and related materials is generally poor. There are a few interesting micromount zeolites and related minerals that are uncommonly found. The calcite fillings of amygdules are sometimes fluorescent red.
