Detailed Mineral List:
β Kaolinite Formula: Al2(Si2O5)(OH)4 Habit: platy hexagonal Colour: white (commonly stained) Description: tiny crystals in fluid inclusions in quartz were tested, but the mineral is certainly ubiquitous here from the alteration of wall rocks Reference: Museum of Natural History, Roger Williams Park, Providence, R.I. G3326 5577; Altamura, Robert J. (1995), Tectonics, Wall-Rock Alteration and Emplacement History of the Lantern Hill Giant Quartz Lode, Avalonian Terrane, Southeastern Connecticut. Trip E in Guidebook for Fieldtrips in Eastern Connecticut and the Hartford Basin. Northeast Section Geological Society of America 30th Annual Meeting. State Geological and Natural History Survey of Connecticut Guidebook No. 7. |
β Plumbogummite Formula: PbAl3(PO4)(PO3OH)(OH)6 Habit: rhombohedral Colour: bluish-green Description: Very microscopic crystals forming crusts on quartz. Reference: Altamura, Robert J.
