Photo: Michael Otto Currently underneath a housing development. Produced fine examples of amethyst as well as smoky quartz. During construction, tubes of amethyst as long as an arm were found. This is also the locality for the quartz "pseudomorphs" (really epimorphs) after anhydrite often labelled as O&G specimens. These finds were made by Bill Barrett, a local contractor and mineral collector widely known for his excellent and extensive collection of Southbury minerals.
