Detailed Mineral List:
| β Almandine Formula: Fe2+3Al2(SiO4)3 References: |
| βͺ Andalusite Formula: Al2(SiO4)O Habit: elongated prismatic Description: Former crystals to 9 cm pseudomorphed by very fine-grained kyanite and muscovite in quartz matrix. Found in a glacially transported rock near State Routes 8 and 63 (Interchange 26), the in-situ source rock is unknown. These pseudomorphs are rare and unusual, E. S. Dana reported similar pseudomorphs at the kyanite locality in Washington, Connecticut (aka, Judd's Bridge). Unaltered andalusite was historically reported only from Litchfield. References: |
| β 'Columbite-Tantalite' Habit: tabular Colour: black Description: One doubly-terminated 6 mm crystal in quartz next to andalusite pseudomorphed by very fine-grained kyanite and muscovite. References: |
| β Fluorapatite Formula: Ca5(PO4)3F Habit: hexagonal Colour: blue-green Description: Single hexagonal crystal a few mm across found in quartz with andalusite crystals to 9 cm pseudomorphed by very fine-grained kyanite and muscovite. Found in a glacially transported rock near State Routes 8 and 63 (Interchange 26), the in-situ source rock is unknown. References: |
| β Kyanite Formula: Al2(SiO4)O Description: Very fine-grained kyanite and muscovite pseudomorphing andalusite crystals to 9 cm. Found in a glacially transported rock near State Routes 8 and 63 (Interchange 26), the in-situ source rock is unknown. These pseudomorphs are rare and unusual, E. S. Dana reported similar pseudomorphs at the kyanite locality in Washington, Connecticut (aka, Judd's Bridge). References: |
| β Muscovite Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 Description: Very fine-grained kyanite and muscovite pseudomorphing andalusite crystals to 9 cm. Found in a glacially transported rock near State Routes 8 and 63 (Interchange 26), the in-situ source rock is unknown. These pseudomorphs are rare and unusual, E. S. Dana reported similar pseudomorphs at the kyanite locality in Washington, Connecticut (aka, Judd's Bridge). References: |
