Standard Detailed Gallery Strunz Chemical ElementsDetailed Mineral List:
ⓘ Albite Formula: Na(AlSi3O8) Description: Found in cavity lined by titanite crystals and containing relic gray calcite in the SE wall of the quarry. |
ⓘ 'Apophyllite Group' Formula: AB4[Si8O22]X · 8H2O Colour: Colourless Description: Fine, clear, fresh, short prismatic crystals in cavitiers in limestone (or calcite pegmatite); cleavages to 15 mm in blocks of pegmatite. Pseudomorphs of silica after the apophyllite preserve the birefringence and interference figure of the original apophyllite. |
ⓘ Aragonite Formula: CaCO3 Description: Occurs in crusts and veinlets. Notable occurrence in this quarry is acicular crystals in gleaming stellate groups up to 15 mm in diameter, lining small veinlets of cavities in limestone. |
ⓘ Arsenopyrite Formula: FeAsS Description: Occurs near marble-quartz diorite contact. |
ⓘ Brucite Formula: Mg(OH)2 Colour: White, yellow, gray Description: As bands of waxy grains, 1 to 5 mm diameter, in marble roughly parallel to quartz diorite contact. |
ⓘ Calcite Formula: CaCO3 |
ⓘ Chalcopyrite Formula: CuFeS2 |

Colour: Dark red-brown, paler red-brown Description: Occurs associated with dark green diopside in the quartz diorite contact zone on the W side of the quarry. These appear to be manganiferous grossular-andradite. Paler material occurs in the quartz monzonite porphyry contact zone. |
ⓘ Gypsum Formula: CaSO4 · 2H2O |
ⓘ Gypsum var. Selenite Formula: CaSO4 · 2H2O |

ⓘ Monticellite Formula: CaMgSiO4 Colour: Brown, pink, gray Description: Occurred here in large quantity as nodular masses from 2 to 18 inches in diameter, resembling boulders or concretions. None were found in matrix. Some of these nodules were found to contain inclusions of green vesuvianite; others change from brown to gray and colourless monticellite internally, and contain blue calcite with crestmoreite in the center. |

ⓘ Strontianite Formula: SrCO3 Colour: White Description: Occurs as sparse, tufted fibers in minute balls on a joint surface of rock. |
ⓘ Thaumasite Formula: Ca3(SO4)[Si(OH)6](CO3) · 12H2O Habit: Acicular hexagonal with flat basal terminations. Colour: White Description: Abundant in this quarry. Occurs as veins and surfaces in and on spurrite-rich rock. Exhibits soft, silky fibers to 5 cm thick. Microscopically reveals closely grouped, radiating, acicular hexagonal crystals. |
ⓘ Titanite Formula: CaTi(SiO4)O Habit: Flat, double-wedge habit. Colour: Brown Description: Found in a cavity in garnet rock, lined with titanite crystals 5 to 10 mm diameter, in the SE face of the quarry. Coarse, massive gray calcite was dissolved from the dcavity and much coarse, massive albite remained. |
ⓘ Vermiculite Formula: Mg0.7(Mg,Fe,Al)6(Si,Al)8O20(OH)4 · 8H2O Description: Occurs in quartz diorite pegmatites. |
ⓘ Vesuvianite Formula: Ca19Fe3+Al4(Al6Mg2)(◻4)◻[Si2O7]4[(SiO4)10]O(OH)9 Colour: Green Description: Occurs as inclusions in monticellite nodules. |
