Paragonite from
Puzzle Mountain, Newry, Oxford County, Maine, USA


Locality type:Mountain
Classification
Species:Paragonite
Formula:NaAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
Comments:Careful reading of the article shows that no paragonite was found as a species. The most sodic mica found was only 26 mole percent paragonite and the paper only claimed that there was a paragonite "component" to the muscovite.
Quality for species:Rock forming mineral/non-crystalline/little interest for collectors.(##)
Confirmation
Validity:Erroneously Reported
