Plumbago Mt. - Oxford pegmatite field. There is an East Pegmatite and a West Pegmatite, with most of the exposure in the West Pegmatite. Spodumene crystals to 2.5 meters constituted one third of one of the pegmatite zones. Spodumene Brook is a usually dry tributary of Howe Brook and is located roughly west by northwest of the Rose Quartz Crystal Locality/Prospect and below the ridge of Plumbago Mountain.) Land currently owned by Plumbago Timber and Quarries LLC which permitted use of new mineral discovery information to appear on mindat.

β Albite Formula: Na(AlSi3O8) |
β Albite var. Cleavelandite Formula: Na(AlSi3O8) |
β Almandine Formula: Fe2+3Al2(SiO4)3 |
β Beryl Formula: Be3Al2(Si6O18) |
β Cryptomelane Formula: K(Mn4+7Mn3+)O16 References: |
β Formula: LiAlSiO4 Description: There is no eucryptite present at this locality, either as true eucryptite or as a mixture of quartz plus albite. The spodumene from this locality does have a pale red fluorescence, but this test is inadequate to verify eucryptite. |
β Fluorapatite Formula: Ca5(PO4)3F |
β 'Lepidolite' ? |
β Microcline Formula: K(AlSi3O8) |
β Muscovite Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 |
β Pyrite Formula: FeS2 References: |
