  • Geology Club Mineral: Collecting Trip
    Geology Club: Mineral Collecting Trip (10 October 2009) Trip Notes by Charles Merguerian STOP 1 – Grossular Garnet Locality, West Redding, Connecticut. [UTM Coordinates: 630.71E / 4575.38N, Bethel quadrangle]. Covering roughly 60 acres of land, this enigmatic massive fine-grained grossularite garnet + diopside rock in West Redding has made many mineral collectors and geologists take notice. Walk up the steep slope east of Simpaug Turnpike to see highly fractured, massive cinnamon-colored grossular garnet rock, part of a 0.6-km wide heart-shaped mass found at the faulted contact between the Stockbridge Marble (OCs) and injected muscovitic schist of the Rowe Schist member (OCr) of the Hartland Formation (Figure 1). According to Rodgers et al. (1985), we are very near Cameron’s Line (red and black line in Figure 1). Figure 1 – Geologic map of the area surrounding Stop 1 showing the Proterozoic gneissic rocks (Yg) and Cambrian Dalton Schist (Cd) to the west, the Stockbridge Marble (OCs), Cameron’s Line (CL in red), the injected schistose rocks of the Rowe Formation (OCr), and an Ordovician granitoid (Og) that may be responsible for this unusual Ca++-enriched skarn deposit. Note the NW-trending high-angle brittle faults that cut the region. (Adapted from Rodgers et al. 1985.) Two knolls at this locality are almost entirely composed of grossularite garnet (var. essonite) and lesser clinopyroxene. Mostly the garnet occurs alone with minor quartz and localized quartz veining has been observed. Chemical analysis of the garnet (SiO2 = 39.10%, CaO = 34.85%, Al2O3 = 19.61%, and total FeO+Fe2O3 = 5.44%), are quite similar to published analyses of grossular garnet, including the phenomenal grossular garnet crystals from Morelos, Mexico.

  • Maine the Way Life Should Be. Mineral Collecting
    MAINE The Way Life Should Be. Mineral Collecting The Maine Publicity Bureau, Inc. Quarries You May Visit # 1 Topsham: The Fisher Quarry is located off Route 24 in Topsham. This locale is best known for crystals of topaz, green microlite, and dark blue tourmaline. It has also produced other minerals such as beryl, uraninite and cassiterite. #2 Machiasport: At an area known as Jasper Beach there is an abundance of vari-colored jasper and/or rhyolite specimens. Located on Route 92. #3 Buckfield: The Bennett Quarry, located between Buckfield and Paris Hill, has produced fine specimens of blue and pink beryl including some gem material. It is also known for crystals of quartz, green tourmaline and rare minerals. #4 Casco: The Chute Prospect is best known for vesuvianite. It is located east of Route 302-35. Crystals of “cinnamon” garnet, quartz and pyrite are also found here. #5 Georgetown: The Consolidated Feldspar Quarry has produced excel­ lent specimens of gem citrine quartz, tourmaline and spodumene. Rose Quartz, cookeite and garnet are also found. #6 Paris: Mount Mica is world famous for tourmaline and this gem material was discovered here in 1821. This is one of the most likely places for a collector to find tourmaline. Mount Mica has produced a host of other minerals including beryl, cookeite, black tourmaline, colum- bite, lepidolite and garnet. (Currently being mined) #7 Greenwood: The Tamminen Quarry and the Harvard Quarry, both located near Route 219, have produced an interesting variety of miner­ als. The Tamminen Quarry is best known for pseudo-cubic quartz crystals, montmorillonite, spodumene and garnet.

CLASSWORK Eventually you may wish to take courses of instruction in the lapidary arts, mineralogy, or geology. Inquiries relating to the various possibilities should be directed to colleges, local schools, museums, and clubs. Some dealers, too, provide class sessions.

You'll be the wiser for this experience when it comes to selecting things needed for your chosen activities. INTRODUCTION Many people are just beginning to discover how VARIETY OF INTERESTS interesting stones can be. The last few years have seen a tremendous growth in the number, hobbyists and Some hobbyists become known as collectors because otherwise, who are now collecting rocks and minerals, their interest lies mostly in the acquisition of specimens. often converting their finds into attractive display pieces Their reward is to behold the enchanting colors and forms and jewelry. Much can be said in favor of these of nature's minerals. Collectors, however, often become fascinating pursuits but we won’t discuss that here.
