Octahedral magnetite crystals can be found in a chlorite schist in Middletown Formation gneiss exposed along the power line ROW near the very southern end of Timms Hill. These are flat-faced crystals that look identical (especially with the chlorite matrix) to those from Chester and other places in Vermont.
