Cymatolite from
Biermann Quarries (Bethel quarries) and tourmaline ledge, Bethel, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA


Locality type:Quarry
Classification
Species:'Cymatolite' (not an IMA approved species)
Comments:The complete absence of spodumene at Biermann makes the occurence of cymatolite here hightly unlikely. Quite possibly the reported find was a cymatolite found at the Fillow Quarry (not too far away) and discard by a collector at Biermann.
