Alphabetical List Tree DiagramDetailed Mineral List:
β Albite Formula: Na(AlSi3O8) Localities: Reported from at least 8 localities in this region. Reference: Farley, E.J. (1978) Mineralization at the Turner and Walker Deposits, South Mountain Batholith. M.Sc. Thesis, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. |
| β Amblygonite Formula: LiAl(PO4)F Localities: Description: MinDat, on the pages for amblygonote and montebrasite, indicates that virtually all reported amblygonite from granites is actually montebrasite. Further, a chemical analysis by Walker and Parsons (1924) shows that the material is very low in fluorine and high in water/hydroxyl. Reference: Faribault, E.R. (1908) Lunenberg County, Nova Scotia. Geological Survey of Canada, Summary Report 1907: 80-82. |
β Anatase Formula: TiO2 Localities: Habit: Most commonly as bipyramids to about 2mm. Also as flattened tabular crystals and plates. Small numbers of tiny rosettes ("anatase roses"). Colour: Black, rarely inky blue. Description: First collected by the Nova Scotia Mineral and Gem Society and visitors from Ontario. It is localized to a brecciated rock along the northeastern end of the pit. Not reported from the rest of the mine.
Associated with adularia, chlorite, quartz, bertrandite, and other minerals. Rarely found on or included in quartz. Some palm sized pieces contained hundreds of crystals. Reference: http://nsminerals.atspace.com/EastKemp.html - Mineralogy of Nova Scotia |

β 'Parisite' Formula: Ca(Ce/La/Nd/REE)2(CO3)3F2 Description: Interesting brown-cream colored prismatic crystals with excellent cleavage are parisite, a cerium carbonate mineral. Actually, recent microprobe tests have shown that the central parts of the crystals are parisite and the rinds are a cerium phosphate. More identification work is being carried out. These crystals are generally about 5 mm or less, but have been found to about 1 cm. Rarely they will have a dusting of extremely tiny pyrites. Note the undulating growth along the prism and the fat midsection of the rear crystal.

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Late/Upper Devonian : 376 Β± 3 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
