Goldsmith (1961) sampled "aegirine-augite granitic gneiss" from this quarry and reported aegirine-augite, monazite, allanite and sphene. I can find no other reference for aegirine or aegirine-augite from Flat Rock.

I have, however, seen some aegrine in nearby outcroppings.

The Flat Rock and Scott quarries were separate operations. Flat Rock was among the larger quarries along with the Millstone and Booth quarries and operated until the 1940s. Scott was a small quarry and defunct prior to 1930.

Is the author of "The Commercial Granites of New England" one of the same authors of "The Granites of Connecticut" (T. Nelson Dale and Herbert E. Gregory)? I have the latter but not the former, though I'd heard of it.
Thanks
