According to the 1844 History of Lynn:
At Nahant are found porphyry, gneiss, and hornstone. It also presents regular strata of foliated feldspar ; and, perhaps, the only instance in New England, in which trap rock exhibits such parallel divisions. Here also are found jasper, chalcedony, and agate ; with prase, prehnite, chert, chlorite, datholite, dolomite, quartz, epidote, rhomb spar, carbonate of lime, and lignified asbestos. At Crystal Beach are fine specimens of crystallized corundum, probably the only locality of this mineral in the United States. These crystals are in six-sided prisms, terminated by hexagonal pyramids, half an inch in diameter, and from two to five inches in length, single and in clusters. Swallows' Cave is composed of greenstone ; Pulpit Rock of argillaceous slate ; Castle Rock of greenstone ; Egg Rock of compact feldspar. Mineral teeth are formed by the fusion of pure feldspar.
