Amethyst—in Greenstone, Deerfield: the colour is not deep, but delicate.
Chalcedony—in same place—considerably abundant, but generally in small masses.
Carnelian—in same place, not plenty. The chalcedony, in some specimens, seems to be passing into cacholong, and the carnelian into sardonyx.
Agate—in same place. It is made up of chalcedony, carnelian, and quartz. They are generally small, but some are elegant.
Jasper, red, and yellow—found in rolled masses on the banks of Deerfield river and in Leyden. Some have been found imperfectly striped. It occurs frequently as it was formed by the aboriginals into barbs for pikes and arrows.
Petrosilex—on the banks of Deerfield river—not good specimens.
Feldspar—the red variety occurs in puddingstone, Deerfield. It is not necessary to mention any other locality of a mineral so common.
Hornblende—very abundant—mostly black in this vicinity.
Mica—this is very abundant on the east side of Connecticut river. Some crystals of it have been found in Amherst.
Talc—in Shutesbury.
