Mineral Treasures in the Maine Woods

Mineral Treasures in the Maine Woods

The early settlers came to the Oxford Hills area of Maine to farm. But they also found Mount Mica, a rough crescent running from Stoneham through Greenwood and West Paris to Minot, where there are large deposits of Pegmatite with pockets holding tourmaline, amethyst, beryl, quartz, and much more.

    Nice. It would be fascinating for you to do video tours on minerals in each county or region of Maine.

    Hi, I have been collecting fossils and rock specimens form maine woods for a few years now I have some material if you’d be willing to check it out. I haven’t got proper identification on a few specimens. Search for "Central Maine Rocks" Thanks!!
