This locality (a town park), like the neighboring Old Mine Plaza (now Home Depot), is unique in Connecticut for its varied mineralogy and the area was prospected since the early 19th century. The park encompasses a number of unrelated deposits with separate prospecting and mining history and mineralogy. The town of Trumbull took the property in lieu of back taxes on October 4, 1937 and named it Old Mine Park on January 4, 1940 (Sullivan, 1985). When opened, the town parks commissioner wrote that the “portion of it which was formerly worked and exposed during mining operations will be left open to residents and non-residents who are interested in Geology or Mineralogy for the study and removal of specimens” (Whitney, 1938). Collecting is no longer allowed, however.

The area is underlain by gently dipping, interlayered amphibolite and marble (metamorphosed during the Acadian Orogeny) with a zone of pegmatite below. The amphibolite, which surrounds the park area, hosts zones of alteration to a quartz, clinozoisite, actinolite, scheelite, marialite, albite and/or calcite rock (formed during an Alleghenian reheating event). Within the park only, some of the scheelite at the contact with the marble is pseudomorphed by ferberite (all crystals tested are Fe-dominant and use of the obsolete term "wolframite" should be abandoned here), and was the subject of short-lived mining efforts around 1900. According to Sullivan (1985), this was after Ephraim Lane and later his son Charles, prospected it in the early to mid-1800s, and after Thomas Hubbard had searched in vain for copper, lead and silver deposits, not tungsten, in the late 1880s.

Sullivan also states that it should be the first tungsten deposit identified in North America (it was the first mined) and the correct type locality for tungstite, rather than the typically referenced Ephraim Lane's Mine in Monroe: http://www.mindat.org/loc-14012.html. Hobbs (1901) states that "The confusion which has arisen has been due largely to the propinquity of the two localities and to the fact that both mines were owned by men bearing the same surname." These men were Ephraim and son Charles. No tungsten mineralization occurs at Lane's Mine in Monroe, the type tungstite occurs as an alteration of ferberite pseudomorphs and scheelite unique to the Trumbull mine (see specimens in Yale-Peabody Museum collection). Early reports by Silliman (1819a, 1819b, 1819c, 1821, 1822a, 1822b), Bowen (1822), and Hitchcock and Silliman (1826), which describe minerals initially attributed to Lane's Mine in Monroe, are actually describing minerals from the Trumbull deposit. This was eventually corrected by Hitchcock (1828) and is further discussed in Hitchcock (1835).

Mining of tungsten from the ferberite pseudomorphs after scheelite, and associated unaltered scheelite, from a quartz/clinozoisite-rich zone just below an amphibolite/marble contact was undertaken by the American Tungsten Mining and Milling Company starting in 1899. They mined for a short time and built a mill that used a dry process that produced a 5% yield, but by 1902 they shut down because this process could not separate pyrite from the tungsten minerals (without additional roasting). A proven wet process was suggested by Gurlt, but not undertaken. The mine was also poorly laid out. The buildings lay idle until 1916 when they were destroyed by a fire. Had they realized that scheelite is much more widespread in the amphibolite (than at the ferberite pseudomorph area), which is generally flat-lying and extends at least 1 km around their shaft (and well outside the park), a significant mine could have been developed. A SW UV light survey of the park and surrounding area for scheelite was conducted by Fisher (1942, see map in Kerr, 1946).
Adolf Gurlt, in his article on this site mentions [Among the wolfram-ores the mineral now called wolframite is the most frequent. It was known for centuries to German and Cornish tin-miners as an obnoxious mineral, though they had no notion of its true character. They had found by experience that when smelted with tin-ore in the furnace, it impeded the reduction of the tin and facilitated its scorification, so they thought it ate up the tin as the wolf eats the sheep. For this reason the Germans named it "wolfart" or "wolfert" or"wolfrig", from which the special mineralogical name wolfram or wolframite was derived.]
Ronald E. Januzzi, in his privately published manuscript had analytical work done on the ferberite. Chemical analysis (Grand Junction Laboratory-Grand Junction, Colorado-Bauer)gave the following results: Tungsten 60.1%, Iron 17.8%, Manganese 0.02%. Ron also mentioned to me that when the site was worked the mining company was unaware that the black crystals contained tungsten and that there was a picking table for professors from Yale, Wesleyan and other nearby universities to pick these and take them back to the universities.

According to Sullivan (1985), this site is also the first known North American topaz locality. The topaz occurs in numerous cross-cutting, steeply-dipping, +/-1m thick, hydrothermal veins that crop out in the park and surrounding area and also associated with the Alleghenian reheating event. Their mineralogy varies but all show a similar metasomatic alteration of the host amphibolite to fine-grained, brownish phlogopite/marialite with pyrite/pyrrhotite, minor ilmenite, fluorapatite, and tiny scheelite grains. The last two minerals are really only obvious under SW UV light. The most common contain a core assemblage of coarse-grained quartz+/-topaz+/-fluorite var. chlorophane with a fine to medium-grained, sub-parallel muscovite (variety margarodite) wall zone. In some veins, the topaz, which may commonly have a coarse muscovite coating, has altered to a very soft, compact and granular to peripherally parallel-fibrous or lamellar habit of margarite (confirmed in 2014 using Raman spectroscopy). A predominantly quartz cored vein, called the Champion Lode, was mined for quartz for use in wood processing (Hobbs 1901, Trumbull Historical Society 1966). Some veins contain mostly albite+/-clinochlore+/-marialite. Very rare are calcite-cored veins with beryl and albite along the contact. Outcrops of the veins are generally small and the veins may in fact grade in composition between these extremes both laterally and vertically as some off-site veins show a mix of these compositions.

Later, early Mesozoic brittle faulting and associated hydrothermal activity deposited purple to green fluorite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, tabular calcite in veins and fractures in a manner similar to that seen at the Thomaston Dam railroad cut.

Other minerals are found in the marble (amphiboles, pyroxenes, titanite, grossular, phlogopite), in small Alpine-clefts, and in the pegmatites (albite, microcline, quartz, muscovite, rarely schorl).

Sullivan reports various mineral misidentification through the years, such as topaz being called beryl (though it is present along the contact of rare calcite-rich veins), Hoadley's (1918) unconfirmed report of cronstedtite, zoisite (epidote, though the 'epidote' associated with the scheelite/ferberite is clinozoisite), and diaspore "mistakenly identified as euclase".

Beryl
Formula: Be3Al2(Si6O18)
Habit: elongated prismatic
Colour: pale green
Description: Small crystals found along the contact zone of some calcite-rich cross-cutting veins, not in the pegmatites and not confused with topaz as speculated by Sullivan. Associated with quartz, calcite, albite.

Bornite
Formula: Cu5FeS4
Description: Januzzi found it with native copper and other copper minerals in small quantities in the dump for the tungsten mine.
Brookite
Formula: TiO2
Description: Micro crystal from the upper mine pit coated with rutile. May have formed from Ti liberated by the alteration of magnesio-hornblende to actinolite.
Calcite
Formula: CaCO3
Habit: cleavable masses to granular
Colour: white to gray
Fluorescence: orange-red under SW and MW UV
Description: A major component of the marble, also an accessory in the quartz-rich contact zone between the marble and amphibolite at the upper mine pit.
Chalcopyrite
Formula: CuFeS2
Habit: grains
Colour: brassy
Description: An accessory in the tungsten ore pit, Januzzi found it with small amounts of native copper and other copper minerals, and in the topaz veins. In tiny grains in rusty-yellow weathered albite-rich rock at the base of the marble in the large quarry.
Clinochlore
Formula: Mg5Al(AlSi3O10)(OH)8
Habit: double cones applied base to base, curved to spherical aggregates of radiating plates
Colour: dark green to black
Description: Accessory in the marble or along contacts of cross-cutting veins with country rock, especially veins rich in calcite, albite and scapolite. In voids as micaceous aggregates up to 2 cm shaped like “double cones applied base to base” (Shepard, 1837) or generally spherical. Good albite and clinochlore crystals are found in small voids in these veins or where they formed in contact with chlorophane "in joints in marble in the bottom of the main pit, some narrow veins filled with a greenish black chlorite, which formed fine granular friable aggregates of small variously oriented crystals. Where free surfaces are present the chlorite exhibits the vermiform curved prismatic crystals commonly called helminthe forms. These free surfaces are usually coated with manganese oxide." (Shannon, 1921b). Called prochlorite in some old literature.
Clinozoisite
Formula: (CaCa)(AlAlAl)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH)
Habit: acicular to massive
Colour: gray to gray-brown, brownish-green
Description: The "epidote" and "zoisite" reported by Gurlt, Hobbs, Shannon, Schairer and Sullivan in the amphibolite is actually clinozoisite. It is abundant in the altered amphibolite and at the quartz-rich contact with the marble associated with the scheelite and ferberite. Non-terminated acicular crystals typically found in small vugs where calcite dissolved out. Shannon's (1921b) wet chemical analyses and RI values fall into the clinozoisite range, even though he called the mineral epidote. Otherwsie he described them thus: "columnar ash gray to brownish gray or nearly white mineral in prismatic crystals imbedded in glassy quartz. There is a small amount of green hornblende in the quartz and patches of calcite occur as the last deposit in cavities. By dissolving out the calcite, clear brown to gray crystals of the prismatic mineral are obtained." (Shannon, 1921b).
Copper
Formula: Cu
Habit: thin lenses, masses, arborescent
Colour: copper
Description: From Januzzi (1994): "Native copper was originally found by the author at the upper working of the old tungsten mine where it occurs in exceedingly thin lenses and masses, at times distinctly arborescent in habit. Further research indicates that a series of copper minerals occur, in small amounts, as a component of the tailings, these species include: native copper, malachite, cuprite, chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite(?), and covellite(?). The latter two species have been reported but not confirmed. Native copper has been observed as inclusions in massive, iron stained, quartz. The most interesting occurrence takes the form of dendritic overgrowths on crystal faces of wolframite pseudomorphs after scheelite. This native element has also been observed in a matrix containing quartz, clinozoisite, pyrrhotite, and limonite." A photo is included in this reference.
Cronstedtite ?
Formula: Fe2+2Fe3+((Si,Fe3+)2O5)(OH)4
Habit: rhombohedral hemimorphic, with the forms c (0001) and x (bar2021)
Colour: black
Description: This is all the information provided by Hoadley on the purported cronstedtite: "On a recent trip of the New York Mineralogical Club, under the guidance of the writer, to the Hubbard tungsten mine at Long Hill (Trumbull Township), Connecticut, Mr. George E. Ashby found a specimen of a chlorite, determined by Mr. Lazard Cahn as cronstedtite, 4FeO.2Fe2O3.3SiO2.4H2O. The specimen shows a group of black crystals 1/8 inch in diameter with perfect basal cleavage, hardness = 3.5, and rhombohedral hemimorphic, with the forms c (0001) and x (bar2021). This is believed to be the first occurrence of the mineral in the United States..." Identity questioned by Manchester (1931), p. 38. Description sounds like the common clinochlore found here.
Diaspore
Formula: AlO(OH)
Habit: thin or 6-sided tables flattened parallel to the shorter diagonal
Colour: yellowish-white
Description: First reported by Shepard (1842) as euclase forming "thin, transparent, yellowish-white tabular crystals, lining cavities in a silvery white mica, and sometimes imbedded in a dark purple fluor" in the topaz veins. Later retracted and confirmed to be diaspore by Shepard (1851) and Dana (1851): H=7-7.5, SG=3.29, alumina 84.9%, water 15.1% and described as "thin or 6-sided tables flattened parallel to the shorter diagonal". May be more common than reported because who has really looked?
Diopside
Formula: CaMgSi2O6
Habit: granular to prismatic
Colour: pale green
Description: Reported as "coccolite" by Shannon (1921a, 1921b) and repeated by Januzzi, Schooner, Sullivan, etc. Found as an accessory in the marble, generally fine-grained.
Enstatite
Formula: Mg2Si2O6
Habit: subhedral blocky
Colour: brown-green
Description: A blocky crystal in quartz/clinozoisite rock with most of the interior altered to a mass of actinolite. Pictured in Januzzi (1994) with caption that it was "x-rayed" with probable enstatite ID (not sure why he qualified it). He did not note the alteration of the crystals' interiors.
Epidote
Formula: (CaCa)(AlAlFe3+)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH)
Habit: massive
Colour: pistachio green
Description: The "epidote" and "zoisite" reported by Gurlt, Hobbs, Schairer and Sullivan in the amphibolite and quart-rich contact zone with the marble, associated with the scheelite and ferberite, is actually clinozoisite. However, pistachio green, fine-grained masses that are likely epidote from retrograde metamorphism (common in most Connecticut metamorphic rocks) do occur in the amphibolite.
Euclase
Formula: BeAl(SiO4)(OH)
Description: First reported by Shepard (1842), later retracted and confirmed to be diaspore by Shepard (1851) and Dana (1851).
Ferberite
Formula: FeWO4
Habit: pseudomorphs after bipyramidal scheelite
Colour: black to dark brown
Description: The only US locality for ferberite after scheelite crystals, with only about 8 other world-wide localities. First described by Silliman (1819-1822) but not recognized as pseudomorphic after scheelite for a few decades. Pseudomorph occurrence is locally restricted to the quartz/clinzoisite-rich contact between the amphibolite and marble at the upper mine pit, sometimes in small open spaces formed from the dissolution of calcite in that zone, and perhaps a nearby locality northeast of the "Burnett place" by Hobbs (1901). Occurs as anhedral lumps to euhedral crystals <1 to >10 cm, the latter size usually aggregates, in the amphibolite. Intermixed scheelite/ferberite partial replacement crystals are common. Some crystals reported with "spongy" texture, probably where tungstite formed and was weathered out. Typically called "wolframite" in most reports but Silliman's original wet chemical analysis shows it is what we now call ferberite and the use of the obsolete term "wolframite" should be abandoned. Januzzi (1994) confirms Silliman's Fe-dominant analysis: "Chemical analysis (Grand Junction Laboratory, Grand Junction, Colorado - Bauer) gave the following results: Tungsten 60.1%, Iron 17.8%, Manganese 0.21%. Non-fibrous material yielded 16.3% iron and 0.95% manganese."
Ferricopiapite ?
Formula: Fe3+0.67Fe3+4(SO4)6(OH)2 · 20H2O
Description: Details of the find needed.
References:
Fluorapatite
Formula: Ca5(PO4)3F
Habit: mostly granular, rarely elongated hexagonal prism terminated by pinacoid.
Colour: white
Fluorescence: yellow-white under SW UV
Description: An accessory in the amphibolite and probably in the marble. A specimen formerly in Ronald Januzzi collection of an altered contact rock in the amphibolite shows a rare terminated fluorapatite about 1 cm long with an anhedral ilmenite crystal about 3 cm across plus clinochlore and quartz.
Fluorite
Formula: CaF2
Habit: cubic with tetrahexahedral modifications
Colour: colorless with purple zones
Description: "Fluorite, varying abruptly from rose pink to deep purple in color, occurs at the upper mine opening intimately intergrown with fibrous scapolite. At the Limekiln Vein fluorite of a purple color occurs in granular masses of considerable size. Veinlets of coarse foliated margarodite, made up of interlocking crystals, have the crystals separated by thin layers of fluorite, and deep purple fluorite forms thin plates between the plates of mica." (Shannon, 1921b). Besides the abundant, massive chlorophane variety found in the topaz veins, micro-crystals of cubic fluorite have been found in cracks and seams in other rocks. As thin purple coatings on topaz. These occurrences do not fluoresce.
Fluorite var. Chlorophane
Formula: CaF2
Habit: cleavable masses
Colour: purplish-red to red-brown, salmon, colorless to grey, pale green, blue
Fluorescence: Fluoresces blue-green under SW UV, with purer emerald green phosphorescence. Purple fluorescence under LW UV. Also thermoluminescent with emerald green color, but this will destroy any further fluorescence or thermoluminescence once cooled.
Description: In cleavable masses up to 15 cm or more in the topaz-rich and albite-rich veins. Daylight color may fade to colorless on exposure to light with loss of fluorescence, though colorless material may still fluoresce. Keep this material in light-proof containers or wrapped in foil.
Galena
Formula: PbS
Description: Minor accessory in the rocks and/or veins.
Galena var. Silver-bearing Galena
Formula: PbS with Ag
Description: Included in a list by Januzzi with no details, apparently based on early reports by Silliman of minerals actually from Lane's mine of Monroe. No modern data regarding the Ag content of galena from Connecticut has been published.
Goethite
Formula: α-Fe3+O(OH)
Habit: massive, pseudomorphous after rhombic siderite
Colour: dark brown
Description: Chunks of goethite after siderite, showing the rhombohedral form or the latter, found in the dumps at the upper mine shaft. Also from the weathering of pyrite, marcasite and/or pyrrhotite.
Gold ?
Formula: Au
Description: Included in a list by Januzzi with no details.
Graphite
Formula: C
Habit: massive
Colour: dark gray
Description: A 6.5 x 5 x 3.5 cm specimen in Ronald Januzzi's collection contains a thin irregular layer of graphite frozen in massive quartz. Slight vugginess and rounded crude quartz crystals suggests the piece came from the vuggy quartz zone on the east corner of the upper mine pit.
Grossular
Formula: Ca3Al2(SiO4)3
Habit: dodecahedral
Colour: cinnamon to clove brown
Description: Accessory in calc-silicate layers in the marble. Well-formed, gemmy crystals to 1.5 cm or so. Reported by Shannon (1921b) as "garnet" thus: "Brownish red granular garnet occurs both in the main pit and in the lime-kiln opening in nodular or lenticular masses in marble which may reach a foot in greatest diameter. Where such masses have had the surrounding calcite dissolved away small dodecahedral crystals are revealed."
Gypsum
Formula: CaSO4 · 2H2O
Habit: prismatic
Colour: colorless to white, grey
Description: Forming drusy crusts of radiating aggregates in sheltered ledges at the upper mine shaft. Formed from the reaction of weathered sulfides in the amphibolite with the marble.
Hematite
Formula: Fe2O3
Description: Minor accessory in the veins.
Ilmenite
Formula: Fe2+TiO3
Habit: tabular anhedral
Colour: dark gray to black
Description: A specimen formerly in Ronald Januzzi collection of an altered contact rock in the amphibolite shows an anhedral ilmenite crystal about 3 cm across with clinochlore, fluorapatite and quartz. to Reported by Hobbs (1901) in the amphibolite as included cores in accessory titanite grains.
Jarosite ?
Formula: KFe3+3(SO4)2(OH)6
Description: Details of the find are needed.
'Limonite'
Habit: massive, ocherous

Description: Stains and alterations from various iron-rich sulfides and partial pseudomorphs after ferberite.
Magnesio-hornblende
Formula: ◻Ca2(Mg4Al)(Si7Al)O22(OH)2
Habit: elongated prisms
Colour: black to dark greenish black
Description: The major component of the amphibolite in the park and adjacent areas. This is a very common species of amphibole in Connecticut based on various TEM-EDS analyses.
Malachite
Formula: Cu2(CO3)(OH)2
Colour: green
Description: Trace occurrence. Alteration of copper minerals.
Marcasite
Formula: FeS2
Habit: botryoidal, mammillary, granular
Description: "Large nodules of botryoidal marcasite, small vein fillings of the same material" (Hobbs, 1901), "Marcasite, more or less weathered, is abundant in the upper mine opening and in the north end of the lower opening. Here it occurs in granular masses and also as internally fibrous mammillary crusts a half inch in thickness on the walls of narrow open cracks in the lower limestone bed. It is very prone to oxidize under the action of the weather, and most of the abundant ocherous limonite stains present have come from its alteration." (Shannon, 1921b).
Margarite
Formula: CaAl2(Al2Si2O10)(OH)2
Habit: micaceous, fibrous, compact
Colour: white, gray, pale green
Description: As bands of soft but brittle parallel fibers with pearly luster surrounding and/or replacing some topaz crystals. Grading to micaceous to granular, the latter especially in the cores of altered crystals. Associated with unaltered topaz, muscovite, quartz, fluorite in cross-cutting hydrothermal veins. Confirmed using Raman spectroscopy by Paul Bartholomew, U. New Haven, 2014.
Marialite
Formula: Na4Al3Si9O24Cl
Habit: radiating bundles of columnar, acicular to fibrous crystals
Colour: white, grey, pale green
Fluorescence: lavender to pink
Description: Radiating bundles of columnar, acicular to fibrous crystals found in the amphibolite and along the contact with the topaz-quartz-fluorite veins associated with phologpite. Some veins contain mostly albite, marialite, quartz, calcite, and clinochlore with minor fluorite. "Radiated scapolite occurs in quartz, intimately associated with pink to purple fluorite, in blocks of material in the dump of the upper mine. The scapolite is faintly brownish-white in color and has a somewhat wax-like luster. The aggregates are coarse to fine columnar and are made up of elongated prismatic crystals from 1 to 5 millimeters in diameter, which sometimes reach 6 centimeters in length. These prisms only rarely exhibit well-defined prismatic planes and are never terminated in the specimens collected. The fluorite, which is intimately intergrown with the scapolite, is in part rose pink and in part deep purple, the colors varying abruptly." (Shannon, 1921b).
Melanterite
Formula: Fe2+(H2O)6SO4 · H2O
Habit: coatings
Colour: greenish-yellow
Description: coatings under ledges of gneiss and in protected places
Microcline
Formula: K(AlSi3O8)
Habit: anhedral to subhedral prismatic
Colour: white to tan
Description: A major component of the pegmatite.
Muscovite
Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
Habit: anhedral tabular, fine-grained replacements of topaz
Colour: silvery
Description: Abundant as a pure micaceous layer along the contacts of the topaz-fluorite-quartz veins with the amphibolite, reported as the hydrous variety "margarodite" by Shannon (1921b). However, this mica matches the physical properties of muscovite and was also identified by Raman spectroscopy. As flakes in the veins, and as coatings and replacement of topaz, also reported by Shannon (1921b) as "margarodite", but which is a mixture of muscovite and paragonite. Also an accessory in the pegmatites. "A foliated and radiated pearly mica from this locality has been widely distributed in old collections, labeled margarodite. This mica is very abundant in the limekiln vein, where it occurs as an alteration product of the topaz as aggregates of scales often grouped in spherical or fan-shaped bunches. In color the margarodite ranges from pale yellow to smoky brownish gray. The yellowish variety occurs replacing the large crystals of topaz. The grayish type is coarser and occurs in open spaces lined by topaz crystals and as narrow veins in which the crystals grow from either wall and inter¬lock loosely in the center of the vein, the space of which are filled with colorless to purple fluorite. Some of the coarsest of the mica is deep blue, apparently from thin layers of deep blue fluorite inserted between the laminae. The margarodite is in plates which uniformly show the structure found in commercial mica deposits and known as feathering evidently due to twinning. In appearance this twinning is more pearly than ordinary muscovite and laminae are more brittle...Mica of this foliated type occurs in practically all of the quartz veins of this vicinity, as seen especially in the main pit and in small openings along the tramway." (Shannon, 1921b).
Opal
Formula: SiO2 · nH2O

Phlogopite
Formula: KMg3(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
Habit: granular flakes
Colour: brown
Description: An accessory in the marble. Also metasomatically formed in the amphibolite in contact with the topaz-quartz-fluorite veins.
Pickeringite
Formula: MgAl2(SO4)4 · 22H2O
Habit: coatings, druses
Colour: colorless to pale yellow
Description: found under overhanging ledges or other protected places, from the alteration of sulfides.
Pyrite
Formula: FeS2
Habit: massive, granular, cubo-octahedral
Colour: pale brassy
Description: Common accessory in the amphibolite, quartz-rich contact zone with the marble, associated with ferberite and scheelite, and marble.
Pyrolusite
Formula: Mn4+O2
Description: A black earthy mineral which has never been submitted for technical identification.
Pyrrhotite
Formula: Fe1-xS
Habit: massive
Colour: reddish-bronze
Description: Common accessory in the amphibolite, quartz-rich contact zone with the marble, associated with ferberite and scheelite, and minor amounts in the topaz-quartz-fluorite veins.
Quartz
Formula: SiO2
Habit: massive, drusy crystals rare
Colour: colorless to white, smoky
Description: As a major, but massive, component of the cross-cutting topaz-quartz-fluorite veins. One nearly pure quartz veins was mined as the "Champion Lode" around 1900. An accessory component of the amphibolite, particularly where altered and along the contact with the marble, where it hosts scheelite and ferberite. Component of the pegmatites.
Rutile
Formula: TiO2
Habit: capillary micro-crystals on brookite
Description: Januzzi (1994) includes a photo, found at the upper mine shaft pit.
'Scapolite'
Habit: radiating bundles of columnar, acicular to fibrous crystals
Colour: white, grey, pale green
Description: Radiating bundles of columnar, acicular to fibrous crystals found in the amphibolite and along the contact with the topaz-quartz-fluorite veins associated with phologpite. Species determined to be marialite via Raman spectroscopy.
Scheelite
Formula: Ca(WO4)
Habit: anhedral to bipyramidal, often modified by prism and pinacoid faces
Colour: colorelss, white, pale yellow, pale grey
Fluorescence: blue-white
Description: An accessory in the amphibolite (3 to 5%), small grains to crystals up to a several cm. Commonly pseudomorphed, partly or completely, by ferberite. Best crystals found in the quartz-rich contact with the marble. Hobbs gives this crystal description: "second order pyramid, e (101), alone or this form giving the habit to the crystal but modified by combination with one or more of the first order pyramids and the third order pyramid, s (311). Inasmuch as the wolframite of the locality always occurs in the form of scheelite and is clearly pseudomorphic after it, the forms are better studied on wolframite crystals. These show several types of which the most common is probably the unmodified pyramid e. Next in order of frequency is the combination of the forms e (101) with c (001), o (102), p (111), and s (311), to which the forms e and o give, the habit. Warren [1901] has recently figured one of these crystals".
Schorl
Formula: NaFe2+3Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)3(OH)
Habit: subhedral elongated prisms
Colour: black to very dark brown
Description: Rarely found in contact zone adjacent to a few cross-cutting veins, particularly at the southeast corner of the large pegmatite mass near the rest rooms. In fine-grained masses with muscovite and albite, topaz, clinochlore.
Siderite
Formula: FeCO3
Habit: anhedral, massive, hemispherical individuals and aggregates, curved rhombic
Colour: brown
Description: Januzzi (1994) reports: "in hemispherical individuals and aggregates associated with quartz, fluorite, galena, and sphalerite as well as curved rhombic crystals of the same species associated with crystals of quartz". Much of this material is actually altered to goethite.
Silver
Formula: Ag
Description: Included in lists by Januzzi, but without details and never substantiated. Confusion with purported silver or silver minerals at Lane's mine in Monroe, which was confused with this locality in very early reports.
Sphalerite
Formula: ZnS
Habit: massive
Colour: black
Description: Minor accessory in the topaz-quartz-fluorite veins. Identified as brilliant, black cleavages to 5 cm in the lower pit. "A brilliant coarse granular and very black sphalerite occurs in aggregates up to 3 inches in diameter in the narrow quartz-topaz veins in the main pit, especially where these veins cut the marcasite layer at the north end of the pit. The sphalerite, which upon weathering assumes an iridescent tarnish, occurs in vitreous grayish quartz associated with margarodite, margarite, and topaz." (Shannon, 1921b)
Szomolnokite ?
Formula: FeSO4 · H2O
Description: Januzzi includes it in a list with this footnote: "Recent (1994) confirmation of the following mineral species, either by x-ray and or chemical analyses."
Talc
Formula: Mg3Si4O10(OH)2
Description: A minor accessory.
Titanite
Formula: CaTi(SiO4)O
Habit: anhedral grains, prismatic
Colour: brown
Description: As a minor accessory in the amphibolite and marble.
Topaz
Formula: Al2(SiO4)(F,OH)2
Habit: prismatic with square to rhombic section
Colour: colorless, white, grey, green, yellow-brown, blue
Description: A common, but locally variable component of the cross-cutting veins with quartz, fluorite, and muscovite, the latter commonly coating the crystals, even replacing them. Rarely gemmy. Crystals usually anhedral to subhedral prisms rarely terminated, up to 6 to 8 inches in diameter, with a length of 3 to 7 inches; micro crystals can be found that are transparent and show a great perfection of form and beauty. "Topaz is present in the quartz veins in quite unusual amount. The best locality is that described as the Limekiln Vein. This vein, which has been opened for a distance of some 75 feet, is from 1 to 5 feet wide. The vein originally consisted almost entirely of quartz and topaz, the quartz being considerably more abundant than the topaz...The topaz occurs in coarse crystalline masses of gray to pale yellow or white color, with well-defined cleavage, some of the cleavage surfaces being a foot in diameter. Most of the topaz contains veins and disseminated scales of margarodite, and large masses of margarodite contain cores of corroded and embayed topaz. Where the topaz abuts against small open cavities in the center of the vein it is bounded by rough crystal planes. Many of these cavities have been filled with coarse foliated margarodite not derived from the adjacent topaz crystals, as the surfaces of these crystals corroded." (Shannon, 1921b)

'Tourmaline'
Formula: AD3G6 (T6O18)(BO3)3X3Z
Habit: acicular
Colour: black
Description: "Large blocks of a rock consisting of quartz and acicular black tourmaline occur in the dump but these were not seen in place." (Shannon, 1921a). "Some large blocks on the dump of the main pit are composed of fine acicular black tourmaline embedded in vitreous grayish quartz." (Shannon, 1921b). Sullivan (1985) reports it in the pegmatite.
Tungstenite
Formula: WS2
Description: The original report is from Schairer (1931), who included it in a list of minerals, without including tungstite, which is long well-known from here. Probably confusion or misspelling. Others simply repeat this report, no finds have been confirmed.
Tungstite (TL)
Formula: WO3 · H2O
Type Locality:
Habit: massive
Colour: orange-yellow, chrome yellow, yellowish gray
Description: An alteration of ferberite pseudomorphs after sheelite, coating and occupying cavities in these crystals from the upper mine pit. Looks like "broken sulfur". Very little of this material has been found since the mid-19th century as the highly weathered portion of the outcrop worked then by Charles Lane has long been removed by subsequent mining. Originally and incorrectly attributed to Lane's mine in Monroe, neither ferberite pseudomorphs after scheelite, nor scheelite occur there and so the type locality for this mineral is actually here.
Uraninite
Formula: UO2
Habit: cubo-octahedral
Colour: black
Description: Januzzi (1994): "This micro-uraninite crystal (B14) was found embedded in dark purple fluorite occurring in the country rock zone (pegmatite) at the upper working of the old tungsten mine at Trumbull." Photos included in the reference.
'Wolframite Group'
Habit: bipyramidal pseudomorphs after scheelite
Colour: dark brown to black
Description: Actually long known to be the iron-rich end-member species ferberite. The use of the term "wolframite" for crystals from here should be abandoned. See more description under ferberite.
Zoisite
Formula: (CaCa)(AlAlAl)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH)
Description: The "epidote" and "zoisite" in the amphibolite and its quartz-rich contact with the marble mentioned in many reports is actually clinozoisite.
