This locality consists of two types of different but adjacent mineral deposits immediately east of Jail Hill Road; a narrow granitic pegmatite and, at its southern terminus, in the surrounding metamorphic rocks, a small manganese-rich deposit.
The pegmatite is a common pegmatite consisting mainly of albite, microcline, and smoky quartz with muscovite, which is typical of the Middletown district according to Stugard (1958). According to the Haddam Historical Society web site, this little pegmatite, situated on grounds belonging to the farms associated with the nearby Middlesex County jail, was discovered in 1914 "and prisoners were employed to quarry the stone which was sold to out of state firms."
According to Seaman and Gallant (1960), the geological occurrence of the Mn-rich deposit is a pod about 1.6 meters in its greatest width. It is enclosed within a quartz-biotite schist that strikes nearly north-south and dips about 75 degrees east to nearly vertical. The mineralogy of the pod is mostly spessartine (confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and SEM-EDS). Along the eastern contact there is a development of massive spessartine with included rhodonite and radiated actinolite. Schooner (1961) describes the variation in spessartine here, "The color of the spessartite ranges from dark red to orange-red to yellowish-orange, with the intermediate shade predominating. Big specimens were obtained, showing virtually pure garnet; the material is very solid and unfractured". Apparently this spessartine-rich rock was first reported by Williams (circa 1945): "In a field and along the road large masses of Garnet occur in Syenite-Gneiss, near the N. Spencer house." That house corresponds to the one present just to the south of the quarry.
Schooner (1961) reports apatite as small white prisms.
The identity of the granular pink mineral(s) has been difficult to pin down. Schooner (1961) says, "rhodonite is found in irregular cleavage masses up to two inches across, embedded in massive spessartite, with some actinolite, calcite, and quartz. The rhodonite is of an attractive pink color, though stained in many places by a manganese dioxide mineral; brown and green materials, perhaps rarer manganese silicates, are associated in some specimens." Later, however, Schooner reported that the Mn-rich deposit was studied by the University of Michigan and USGS, which did numerous X-ray diffraction identifications. They changed the "rhodonite" to bustamite and pyroxmangite (a polymorph of rhodonite) and many other Mn minerals were identified. Schooner alludes to this research in his circa 1990 unpublished manuscript on central Connecticut mineralogy. However, a 2014 Raman spectroscopic analysis of a fine-grained pink mass, initially identified as rhodonite by Charles and Marcelle Weber, confirmed its ID as rhodonite. SEM-EDS analyses done in 2019 by Micromounters New England on several specimens posted here did not identify any pink grains as bustamite, but only as rhodonite/pyroxmangite polymorphs and one as rhodochrosite. All four minerals could be present. Some brown granular specimens labeled as tephroite proved to be spessartine, but one has a darker brown area that is tephroite.
As of 2006, massive spessartine and tiny crystals in quartz could still be found there.

| β Actinolite Formula: ◻Ca2(Mg4.5-2.5Fe0.5-2.5)Si8O22(OH)2 Habit: elongated, striated, subhedral prisms Colour: light to dark green Description: As sub-cm grains in a nearly pure actinolite rock or as scattered grains with other minerals. |
| β Albite Formula: Na(AlSi3O8) Habit: anhedral, twinned grains Colour: white References: |
| β Alleghanyite Formula: Mn2+5(SiO4)2(OH)2 Colour: reddish Description: Found by Dick Schooner. A segregation over a foot in diameter, it consisted mainly of reddish alleghanyite and pinkish kutnohorite, with accessories. Unfortunately, only a few specimens were saved. |
| β Almandine Formula: Fe2+3Al2(SiO4)3 Habit: trapezohedral Colour: maroon Description: As grains and small crystals in the pegmatite matrix. References: |
| β Autunite Formula: Ca(UO2)2(PO4)2 · 10-12H2O Fluorescence: green |
| β Baryte Formula: BaSO4 Habit: cleavable masses Colour: white Description: White cleavages, up to two inches broad, accompanied tirodite in the spessartine lens at the Jail Hill quarry in Haddam. This was X-rayed for verification. |
| β Bementite ? Formula: Mn7Si6O15(OH)8 Description: Reported by Dick Schooner, reference gives no details. |
| β 'Biotite' Formula: K(Fe2+/Mg)2(Al/Fe3+/Mg/Ti)([Si/Al/Fe]2Si2O10)(OH/F)2 Habit: subhedral tabular Colour: black Description: Mostly in the schist surrounding the pegmatite and Mn-rich pod, though some biotite is mixed with spessartine along the latter's contact. |
| β Birnessite Formula: (Na,Ca)0.5(Mn4+,Mn3+)2O4 · 1.5H2O Habit: encrustation Colour: black Description: "This is one of the manganese oxides identified as a component of the soft black alteration crusts on tephroite, etc." |
| β Bustamite Formula: CaMn2+(Si2O6) Habit: cleavable masses Colour: light pink Description: When the author discovered a large lens of spessartine at the Jail Hill quarry, in the 1950s, a few good specimens of pink "rhodonite" were collected. Two different shades were associated differently, one with spessartine and calcite (or dolomite), the other with tephroite and pyrophanite. X-ray and spectrographic tests have shown the lighter pink mineral to be bustamite, and the darker one pyroxmangite. In some cases, bustamite is intimately intergrown with johannsenite (probably an exsolution product). |
| β Calcite Formula: CaCO3 Habit: anhedral Colour: white Description: Minor accessory in the Mn deposit. References: |
| β Caryopilite Formula: Mn2+3Si2O5(OH)4 Description: This was identified (at the University of Michigan) as a very minor component of "ore" from the manganese pod at the Jail Hill quarry in Haddam. |
| β 'Columbite-(Fe)-Columbite-(Mn) Series' Colour: Black Description: Micro crystals in the pegmatite matrix, species undetermined. References: |
| β Dolomite ? Formula: CaMg(CO3)2 Colour: white Description: "At the Jail Hill quarry in Haddam, tephroite-spessartine-alleghanyite-bustamite "ore" contains a white to light pink dolomite carbonate. The pink is known to be kutnohorite (studied at the University of Michigan); the white seems to be just dolomite." Could just be calcite, which is present. |
| β Ferri-ghoseite Formula: ◻[Mn2+Na][Mg4Fe3+]Si8O22(OH)2 Habit: lamellar or bladed Colour: tan or green Description: Reported by Dick Schooner as "Tirodite", reference below provides no details. An XRD analysis of a sample labeled "tirodite" from Dick Schooner's collection could not differentiate it from actinolite. However, Schooner (circa 1990) reports: "Tan or green tirodite, lamellar and bladed, was rather common at the Jail Hill quarry, usually with only spessartine or barite. Masses two inches across have been preserved. A few little silky-fibrous tufts proved to be tirodite, also. This material was studied at the University of Michigan." A dark green amphibole-rich Schooner specimen labeled as "tirodite" (photo 983892) was analysed via SEM-EDS by Micromounters New England in 2019 and was found to be ferro-actinolite (no Mn). |
| β Ferro-actinolite Formula: ◻Ca2Fe2+5(Si8O22)(OH)2 Habit: anhedral Colour: very dark green Description: As sub-cm grains in amphibolite rock with frosty, fine-grained scapolite. References: |
| β Fluorapatite Formula: Ca5(PO4)3F Colour: colorless, white Description: Seaman and Gallant (1960) report "Along the southern contact [of the Mn pod] where most of the small garnets occur, some tiny colorless and white apatite crystals were found in small vugs and seams, implanted on the faces of the garnets." Probably also as accessory grains in the pegmatite. |
| β Fluorite Formula: CaF2 Habit: massive Colour: pale green to pale lavender Fluorescence: none Description: Massive, fine-grained with "frosty" luster, associated with actinolite. References: |
| β Galaxite ? Formula: Mn2+Al2O4 Colour: dark green Description: A dusting of a dark green mineral is seen in alleghanyite-kutnohorite specimens from the Jail Hill quarry. X-ray diffraction of a mixed sample shows faint peaks that correspond rather well to galaxite. |
| β Goethite Formula: Ξ±-Fe3+O(OH) References: |
| β Groutite ? Formula: Mn3+O(OH) Description: Reportedly one of the black Mn-rich alteration crusts. |
| β Jacobsite Formula: Mn2+Fe3+2O4 Description: "Specimens of tephroite from the Jail Hill quarry contain magnetic grains, shown (by X-ray and microprobe study at the University of Michigan) to be jacobsite. The material ranges from ferroan jacobsite to manganoan magnetite, within individual grains. A few specimens show it rather abundantly."
Specimens are in the Harvard Mineralogical Museum. |
| β Johannsenite ? Formula: CaMn2+Si2O6 Colour: tan or gray Description: Fibrous tan or gray johannsenite is intergrown with pink bustamite in a few specimens from the Jail Hill quarry. The X-ray pattern indicates a clinopyroxene, and spectrographic analysis shows calcium and manganese as the principal cations of both minerals. The association is entirely characteristic. |
| β Kutnohorite Formula: CaMn2+(CO3)2 Habit: massive Colour: pink Description: "Light pink kutnohorite (verified at the University of Michigan) is the matrix for abundant reddish grains of alleghanyite (or an alleghanyite-like mineral) in the material collected, around 1960, at the Jail Hill quarry. Tephroite, jacobsite, and pyrophanite are also associated." |
| β 'Limonite' References: |
| β Meionite Formula: Ca4Al6Si6O24CO3 Habit: massive Colour: creamy to pale lavender Description: Fine-grained, frosty material associated with ferro-actinolite. References: |
| β Microcline Formula: K(AlSi3O8) Habit: anhedral to subhedral prisms Colour: tan Description: As a primary constituent of the pegmatite. References: |
| βͺ Microcline var. Hyalophane Formula: (K,Ba)[Al(Si,Al)Si2O8] Habit: prismatic Colour: pale yellow-white Description: "A few nicely formed yellowish hyalophane crystals (adularia type) were found in vugs of spessartine crystals at the Jail Hill quarry in Haddam, associated with a lens of manganese silicates and oxides. Spectrographic analysis indicates the hyalophane is manganoan." Schooner (circa 1985). Crystals reach about 1 cm. |
| β Muscovite Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 Habit: tabular, subhedral Colour: silvery Description: As a primary constituent of the pegmatite. References: |
| β Opal Formula: SiO2 · nH2O References: |
| β Opal var. Opal-AN Formula: SiO2 · nH2O References: |
| β Phenakite ? Formula: Be2SiO4 Description: Richard Schooner collected a specimen showing a few "tiny colorless" crystals described as "short-prismatic, with compound terminations" in a vug with spessartine crystals. Gunnar Bjareby identified them as phenakite. Anthony Albini now possesses what appears to be this specimen. The crystals visually resemble fluorapatite as described by Seaman and Gallant (1960), have the hardness of fluorapatite and fluoresce yellow-white. |
| β Pyrite Formula: FeS2 References: |
| β Pyrophanite Formula: Mn2+TiO3 Habit: tabular Colour: dark red to black Description: "Very small brilliant tabular crystals, looking black through dark red under strong magnification, are commonly embedded in tephroite, kutnohorite, pyroxymangite, and spessartine from the Jail Hill quarry. Studies at the USGS and the University of Michigan have confirmed the identification." |
| β Pyroxmangite Formula: Mn2+SiO3 Habit: cleavable masses Colour: pink Description: Bustamite and pyroxmangite occurred at the Jail Hill quarry; one light pink, with spessartine and dolomite; the other a deeper pink, and with a more fibrous cleavage, associated with tephroite and yellow spessartine. X-ray patterns were carefully studied and spectrographic tests made. Only a few rich specimens were found. Earlier, both of these minerals had been dismissed as "rhodonite". |
| β Quartz Formula: SiO2 Habit: mostly anhedral, micro prismatic crystals in tiny pockets Colour: white Description: Massive material predominates, but a tiny prismatic crystals occur in tiny pockets in the massive spessartine, with crystals of the latter. |
| β Quartz var. Smoky Quartz Formula: SiO2 Habit: anhedral Colour: gray Description: As a primary constituent of the pegmatite. References: |
| β Rhodochrosite Formula: MnCO3 Habit: granular Colour: pink Description: Grains with granular spessartine and tephroite. References: |
| β Rhodonite Formula: CaMn3Mn[Si5O15] Habit: subhedral grains Colour: pink Description: The validity of this species here has flip-flopped over the decades. Some reference refute it, saying confusion with bustamite and pyroxmangite, but at least one specimen confirmed by Raman spectroscopy by Paul Bartholomew, U. of New Haven, 2014. References: |
| β Rutile Formula: TiO2 Habit: subhedral elongated prisms Colour: black Description: Tiny grains in calcite of the Mn pod. References: |
| βͺ Spessartine Formula: Mn2+3Al2(SiO4)3 Habit: trapezohedral modified by the hexoctahedron and dodecahedron Colour: dark red to orange-red to yellowish-orange Description: Mostly massive, cherty looking with conchoidal fracture, hundreds of pounds have been recovered; the small crystals, which range from microscopic up to a half of an inch in diameter, are of a brighter orange-red color. Most of the small crystals show the trapezohedron as the dominant crystal form modified by the hexoctahedron. Some show the trapezohedron modified by both the hexoctahedron and the dodecahedron. Associated with quartz, bustamite-pyroxmangite-alleghanyite, tephroite, actinolite. Confirmed as spessartine using XRD, XRF and Raman spectroscopy. One of the few bona-fide spessartine localities in Connecticut. References: |
| β Tephroite Formula: Mn2+2SiO4 Habit: anhedral Colour: tan, brown, dark brown Description: Reported by Dick Schooner. Specimens mostly are pure masses of anhedral grains, or scattered grains associated with bustamite and spessartine, all with black staining. According to Schooner:
"Several bodies of more complex mineralogy, within the spessartine, consisted for the most part of brownish tephroite, intimately intergrown with dolomite and kutnohorite, as well as yellow spessartine, alleghanyite, jacobsite, pyrophanite, etc. A few solid dark gray resinous-looking cleavages, up to an inch, were obtained. The main concentration was eventually removed as a boulder, over two feet in diameter, which may well hold the world's record for toughness; it took the author two days of steady pounding to reduce it!" |
| β Titanite Formula: CaTi(SiO4)O Description: Schooner (circa 1980s) states that there were rich specimens of anatase that are pseudomorphs after titanite. |
| β Todorokite ? Formula: (Na,Ca,K,Ba,Sr)1-x(Mn,Mg,Al)6O12 · 3-4H2O Colour: black Description: Reportedly one of the black Mn-rich alteration crusts. |
| β Uraninite Formula: UO2 Habit: octahedral Colour: black Description: An accessory in the pegmatite. |
