Spurrite from
Strickland Quarry, Strickland pegmatite, Collins Hill, Portland, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA


Locality type:Quarry
Classification
Species:Spurrite
Formula:Ca5(SiO4)2(CO3)
Comments:Schooner (circa 1985): "In some of the wollastonite pods at the Strickland quarry, bluish-gray spurrite occurs as very thin layers with grossularite and larnite. X-ray confirmation was obtained from a number of samples. Spurrite also is mixed with the granular wollastonite and its embedded minute gehlenite crystals; only X-ray peaks revealed its presence in that material." Studied by Waldemar T. Schaller of USGS.
Colour:bluish-gray
Abundance at site:Very Rare
Confirmation
Validity:Confirmed
Confirmation Methods:XRD
