A small quarry in heavily faulted basalt yielding a variety of mineral species similar to other localities in New Britain. Calcite-dolomite-quartz-barite-metal sulfide-aragonite-bitumen hydrothermal mineralogy occurs within steeply-dipping faults spaced every few meters. Pumpellyite-prehnite-datolite-anhydrite-gypsum-calcite-zeolite-adularia mineralogy occurs in vesicles in the basalt. Locality is private property and closed to collecting. No trespassing.

| β Analcime Formula: Na(AlSi2O6) · H2O |
| βͺ Anhydrite Formula: CaSO4 Habit: tabular, cleavable masses Colour: pale blue to white Description: One of the few places in Connecticut trap rock where all the anhydrite did not naturally dissolve away later in the paragenesis. Occurs as cleavable masses to 15 cm or so and partial crystals in vesicles with other minerals. References: |
