Metamorphic deposit. Quartz veins encountered in small excavations made in the 1880's contained huge andalusite crystals to 4 x 10 cm and world-class pyrrhotite crystals to 2 x 2 x 0.3 cm. Excavations now filled, some probably developed during road work. Locations uncertain near the boundary of Standish and Baldwin, but historically given as Standish.
