Mount Mica Mine
Granite pegmatite in the Oxford pegmatite field. Mount Mica is the second oldest elbaite occurrence in North America, after Clarkes Ledge Quarry, Chesterfield, Massachusetts (King, 2010; King and Teixeira, 2010).
Mount Mica was found in October 1821 by two professional men: one a doctor of medicine, Ezekiel Holmes, and one a lawyer, Elijah Hamlin. The day following the discovery was marked by a surprise early snowfall, preventing further exploration until Hamlin's younger brothers drilled and blasted the ledge in the summer of 1822. (Although there are numerous reports that cite Augustus Hamlin's histories of the locality claiming an 1820 discovery, the date is incorrect for many reasons, and the actual snowfall date is now known (Sturtevant, 1948; Perham, 1987; King, 2000, 2001, 2006a,b, 2012). Analysis of snowfall records made by Parker Cleveland as well as a search of Oxford County town histories corroborate Sturtevant (1948) and Perham (1987). They point to October 18, 1821, as the day of the discovery of Mount Mica and the famous snowstorm covering Mount Mica until the spring (King), 2012). Mount Mica is an LCT-class granite pegmatite.
The first rose quartz crystals known in the world were found at Mount Mica Quarry about 1913-1915 by George Howe of Norway, Maine.
The second locality for genuine rose quartz crystals in the world, the Dunton Gem Quarry, Newry, Maine, produced its first rose quartz crystals in 1927.
A third world locality was discovered in 1942, at the Rose Quartz Crystal locality, also in Newry. Rose quartz crystals were not known in Brazil until 1958.
It is particularly interesting that some pink Mount Mica tourmaline fluoresces blue in short-wave ultraviolet light. However, that property is not so widespread nor as strong at Mount Mica as the very strongly blue-white fluorescent tourmaline of the Dunton Quarry, Newry (q.v.). Fluorescence is not a property that can be unambiguously used to differentiate genuine Mount Mica tourmaline from mislabeled Mount Mica tourmaline, but there may be useful comparisons when known and suspected specimens are examined at the same time.
Local rocks include Silurian Sangerville Formation, Anasagunticook member.
