According to a Hiller (1967), an occurrence apparently exposed in rock cuts SE of Caraluzzi's Market (Supermarket) at the SE intersection of state Route 57 and Old Mill Road. This is in the Redding portion of Georgetown village, which is mostly in Wilton. An old specimen label calls it the "Georgetown A&P". Zeolites and associates found in fractures in Ordovician Ratlum Mountain schist.

| β Albite Formula: Na(AlSi3O8) Habit: micro druse Colour: white Description: Lining cavities as a druse of micro crystals that are overgrowths of schist matrix albite. References: |
| β 'Apophyllite Group' Formula: AB4[Si8O22]X · 8H2O Habit: bipyramidal modified by prism Colour: white Description: crystals to 5mm associated with natrolite References: |
| β Harmotome Formula: Ba2(Si12Al4)O32 · 12H2O |
| β 'Heulandite Subgroup' Formula: (Na/Ca/K)5-6[Al8-9 Si27-28 O72] · nH2O References: |
| β Marcasite Formula: FeS2 References: |
| β Melanterite Formula: Fe2+(H2O)6SO4 · H2O References: |
| β Mesolite Formula: Na2Ca2Si9Al6O30 · 8H2O Habit: acicular, radiating Colour: white Description: At least some of what has been considered natrolite (visually) from this locality proved to be mesolite (EDS), though other crystals could still be natrolite. References: |
| βͺ Natrolite Formula: Na2Al2Si3O10 · 2H2O Habit: acicular with flat pyramidal termination Colour: colorless, white Description: Radiating open sprays of individual crystals, at least 1 cm long. At least one potential natrolite specimen has proven to be mesolite (via EDS), so perhaps more or all are actually the latter mineral. |
| β 'Stilbite Subgroup' Formula: M6-7[Al8-9Si27-28O72] · nH2O |
