Small but abundant bluish fluorapatite crystals are found in a pegmatite rich in large books of biotite. Few other minerals are found as specimen grade material. Rocks from here are quarried and either crushed into gravel or sold for landscaping at the quarry garden store located elsewhere in Seymour.
