Nova Scotian Mineral Localities - Boylston
of an interesting mineral outcrop containing red quartz crystals and interesting dolomite epimorphs of calcite. Offers geology, mineralogy, photos of specimens and references.
http://is2.dal.ca/~dommelen/Boylston.html

Extractions: Introduction Boylston is located about 10km north of Guysborough in Guysborough County, Nova Scotia, Canada. It consists of a large pit in the side of a hill. The pit is visible from the main road. The quartz veins have produced nice orange to red quartz crystals. Many of the crystals are tabular, and many show good faden lines. In addition to the quartz, a small number of interesting dolomite epimorphs of calcite have ben found. Figure 1: The southeast end of the pit at Boylston, summer 1999. Geology According to geological mapping done in the area, the rock is part of the Calm Harbour Formation, Horton Group and of Triassic age. This formation consists of arenite and siltstone. At Boylston, the country rock appears more like a very fine grained phyllite. It is green-grey and has a very soapy feel. As visible in the photo, several quartz veins cut though the host rock and the whole has been folded.

Nova Scotian Mineral Localities - Magnet Cove
A history of the mine, its discoverer, workings and geology, mineralogy and references.
http://is2.dal.ca/~dommelen/Walton.html

Extractions: Introduction The Walton Barite Mine is located about 4 km southwest of Walton, in Hants County, Nova Scotia, Canada. The mine has been closed for many years and is now flooded. When operating in the 1960's, it accounted for 90% of all barite produced in Canada. It is also the type locality for two cobalt minerals, aplowite and moorhouseite. Figure 1: Looking south at the open pit and a couple buildings in spring 1999. History A barite outcrop, only a few square feet in size, was known from at least 1894. It was not until 1940, however, when a local prospector, Roscoe Hiltz, rediscovered the outcrop and brought it to the attention of Springer Sturgeon Gold Mines Ltd. The importance was immediately realized and test drilling began in the fall of 1940, continuing through the winter into 1941. It would become Canada's largest barite mine and one of the largest deposits in the world. Barite production began in 1941 and was operated by Canadian Industrial Minerals, a subsidiary of Springer Strugeon, until 1955. At that time the mine was leased to Magnet Cove Barium Corporation, a subsidiary of Dresser Industries Inc., of Dallas, Texas.
Nova Scotian Mineral Localities - New Ross
An exposition of the mineral deposits around the town, offering geology, mineralogy, locations and references.
http://is2.dal.ca/~dommelen/NewRoss.html

Extractions: Introduction New Ross is a small community in the center of southern Nova Scotia. The area around New Ross contains many small pegmatite deposits that were worked about the turn of the century. While nearly all of these no longer produce specimens, they produced some interesting minerals in their day. This page is a collective review of a few selected pegmatites. Mineralogy Keddy Prospect This occurence was discovered in 1890. Two pegmatite dykes were mapped in 1924, and two diamond drill cores were taken in 1963. Minerals include: Quartz, muscovite, molybdenite, topaz, dumortierite, dickite, fluorite, columbite, scheelite, wolframite, andalusite Reeves Sn Pit The first pit at this site was dug in 1903. In the following years the pit grew to 7.5m deep, 3.6m long, and 3m wide. The site is now filled in with no material left to be collected on the surface. Minerals include: orthoclase, quartz, muscovite, cassiterite, amblygonite, lepidolite, fluorite, topaz, tourmaline, beryl, wolframite, scheelite, columbite, durangite, metatorbernite, tapiolite, and monazite. The quartz crystals were up to 70 cm long; both white and smoky. The mineral durangite is quite rare an known from only a few localities worldwide. Some authors have questioned whether this mineral was properly identified.
Nova Scotian Mineral Localities - Dunbrack
The mine is just northwest of the village. Offers a history of the lead workings, geology, mineralogy, samples of crystals and references.
http://is2.dal.ca/~dommelen/Dunbrack.html

Extractions: Introduction Nova Scotia is not rich in places to collect interesting secondary lead and copper minerals, and the Dunbrack Mine is one of the few localities where such minerals can be found. The Dunbrack Mine is located about 4.8 km north-west of the village of Musquodoboit Harbour, in Halifax County, Nova Scotia. Recent collecting has turned up a few new minerals. One has been identified as langite, and another as wulfenite. In addition, the blue mineral commonly found on the dumps and reported to be azurite by much of the earlier literature is actually linarite. To my knowledge, this is the first report of wulfenite, linarite, pseudomalachite, wroewolfeite, and anilite in Nova Scotia. dumpheap, looking east. Knapsack in foreground for scale. Geology The deposit is located in the central part of the Musquodoboit Batholith. This batholith, of Devono-Carboniferous age, intrudes Cambro-Ordovician metasedimentary rocks of the Meguma Group. The batholith consists of primarily leucomonzogranite. The deposit is described as a quartz-rich fissure vein and breccia zone. The vein averages 1m thick and dips 62degN. The length at the surface is several hundred meters. The the hanging wall contact is a 1-3cm silicified zone, while there is a 1.2m thick fine-grained dyke rock in the foot wall between the vein and the surrounding leucomonzogranite. Lead, copper, zinc, and silver were the primary metals recovered during mining operations.

Nova Scotian Mineral Localities - Wasson's Bluff
The cliffs at the bluff hold world famous fossils and great minerals. Offers a history, location, geology, mineralogy, photos of samples and references.
http://is2.dal.ca/~dommelen/Wassons.html

Extractions: Introduction Parrsboro is the self proclaimed mineral collecting capital of Nova Scotia. It is home to the Fundy Geological Museum and hosts an annual mineral show. One of the spots that has made Parrsboro so famous is the area around Wasson's Bluff, about 6 km east of Parrsboro. When you first step onto the beach and Wasson's Bluff you are treated to some awesome scenery. However, in addition to the beautiful landscape, the cliffs hold world famous fossils and great minerals. In 1984, these cliff received international attention with the discovery of a 200 million year old fossil assemblage by a team of American scientists led by Dr. Paul Olsen of Columbia University and Neil Shubin of Harvard University. For more information about the fossils from Wasson's Bluff, the Nova Scotia museum site on the fossils of Nova Scotia It is very important to note that Wasson's Bluff is designated a Special Place under provincial law. Thus, it is illegal to dig from the cliffs without special permission. Collecting from the beach is permitted. The specimens shown on this page were collected legally. Figure 1: Looking east from Swan's Creek. Wasson's Bluff is on the left, Two Islands is on the right. Behind Two Islands you can see Five Islands and Economy Mountain (mountains in Nova Scotia are not very large). At high tide, the water not only covers the wet mud, but the dry beach in the foreground.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineralogy

Extractions: Other languages: Deutsch Esperanto Italiano Nederlands From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Mineralogy is an earth science that involves the chemistry crystal structure, and physical (including optical ) properties of minerals . Studies also include the processes of mineral creation and destruction. The International Mineralogical Association (IMA) is an organization whose members are organizations representing mineralogists in individual countries. Its activities include managing naming of minerals (via the Commission of New Minerals and Mineral Names), location of Type material of known minerals, etc. As of 2004 there are over 4000 species of mineral recognized by the IMA. Of these, perhaps 150 can be called "common," another 50 are "occasional," and the rest are "rare" to "extremely rare." See also: Georg Agricola List of minerals List of mineralogists
