Detailed Mineral List:
| ⓘ Almandine Formula: Fe2+3Al2(SiO4)3 Localities: Habit: Dodecahedral, Massive Colour: Brown, Red, Red-purple Description: Massive, deep red, transparent aggregates in Schist or as brown, opaque, dodecahedral floaters. References: Nekkhi MurtishiIdentified by Nekkhi Murtishi: Visual Identification |
| ⓘ 'Almandine-Pyrope Series var. Rhodolite' ? Formula: Mg3Al2(SiO4)3 Habit: Dodecahedral Colour: Red, purple Description: Color is not diagnostic for garnet species. Needs chemical analysis to confirm, pyrope is not confirmed in Connecticut and is unlikely because it is found mostly in Mg-rich deep crustal igneous rocks and as grains rather than crystals. These crystals are probably almandine, which is extremely common in schists, though they may have a significant Mg component. The term "rhodolite" refers originally a rose-red gem variety of pyrope. Current usage has extended the name to any pink garnet in the almandine-pyrope series with most of the occurrences in the almandine compositional field. References: |
| ⓘ Azurite Formula: Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2 |
| ⓘ Calcite Formula: CaCO3 Description: Tabular crystals occur up to 4mm, some of the calcite has a strong orange fluorescent under SW UV |
| ⓘ Cuprite Formula: Cu2O |
| ⓘ Fluorite Formula: CaF2 |
| ⓘ Gold Formula: Au Description: Gold nuggets panned in a river stream. Originally found by Nekkhi Murtishi in 2019. References: |
| ⓘ Malachite Formula: Cu2(CO3)(OH)2 |
| ⓘ Microcline Formula: K(AlSi3O8) |
