A limestone quarry in the Precambrian crystallized Franklin Marble. A locality within the Franklin District located to the West of Franklin Pond on the West side of Corkhill Road. An industrial plant, formerly owned by the Cellate Corp., occupies this quarry (no relationship to any quarrying operations). This locality is within the Franklin Mining District. Variant locality spellings that contain "h" are in error.

It might be good to remember occasionally that most of the early mineral collectors were naturalists. These naturalists certainly looked at the rocks and minerals, but they also looked at many other things, especially the plants. It should be noted that this quarry not only produced some good specimens of minerals typical of the Franklin marble, but also hosted (and perhaps still does) a great profusion of fringed gentians, (Gentianopsis crinita).

✪ Fluorophlogopite
Formula: KMg3(Si3Al)O10F2
Habit: Columnar crystals
Colour: Brown
Fluorescence: Yellow
Description: Chemical analyses (Dunn, 1995) show that this mica in near end-member fluorophlogopite according to IMA nomenclature of 1999.
✪ Fluor-uvite (TL)
Formula: CaMg3(Al5Mg)(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)3F
Type Locality:
Habit: First and second order prisms and first and second order trigonal pyramids. Crystal usually equant to slight elongated on "c".
Colour: Full range of light to dark shades of green including olive green and brownish green through greenish brown.
ⓘ 'Fluor-uvite-Uvite Series'
Description: Occurs in Precambrian Franklin marble. This locality produced some of the finest classic green and brown Franklin fluor-uvite crystals. Originally simply called "uvite", before changes in tourmaline nomenclature
ⓘ Graphite
Formula: C
Description: Occurs in Precambrian Franklin marble.
ⓘ Norbergite
Formula: Mg3(SiO4)F2
Description: According to Dunn (1995), fine Norbergite crystals may attain 2-3 cm, some of them of very high quality. Most norbergite, however, occurs as anhedral to subhedral 1-4 mm grains in the host marble.
ⓘ Pargasite
Formula: NaCa2(Mg4Al)(Si6Al2)O22(OH)2
✪ Phlogopite
Formula: KMg3(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
Habit: Columnar crystals
Colour: Brown
Fluorescence: yellow
Description: Chemical analyses show that the "phlogopite" of the Franklin Marble is nearly edn-member fluorophlogopite by the IMA nomenclature of 1999. Occurs in Precambrian Franklin marble associated with fluorite, graphite, etc.
ⓘ Pyrite
Formula: FeS2
Description: Occurs in Precambrian Franklin marble.
References:
Palache(1935):30.
ⓘ Pyrrhotite
Formula: Fe1-xS
Description: Occurs in Precambrian Franklin marble.
ⓘ Spinel
Formula: MgAl2O4
Description: Occurs in Precambrian Franklin marble.
