The Losee Gneiss outcrops in several areas of the Franklin Mining District.
The geologic map, BEDROCK GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE FRANKLIN QUADRANGLE, SUSSEX AND MORRIS COUNTIES, NEW JERSEY. USGS GEOLOGIC MAP SERIES GMS 13-3 list the mineralogy of the Losee Gneiss (Ylo):
"Quartz-oligoclase gneiss (Mesoproterozoic) – White-weathering, light-greenish-gray, medium to coarse-grained, layered to massive, foliated gneiss composed of oligoclase or andesine, quartz, and varied amounts of hornblende, biotite, clinopyroxene, and magnetite. Locally contains layers of amphibolite too thin to be shown on the map. Unit commonly has gradational contacts with biotite-quartz-oligoclase gneiss and hypersthene-quartz-plagioclase gneiss."
