Granite pegmatite. Brunswick pegmatite field. Very near to the Bowdoinham-Bowdoin town line. This locality was re-opened by John Raymond and Bill Cote about 1990. Originally prospected by Guy Booker and located west of the Booker Quarry and Interstate Route 95. Noted for almandine crystals to 20 cm and good quality beryl crystals to 20 cm. Both beryl and almandine from this locality, when faceted, yielded flawless gemstones. Several more or less consolidated pits about 1+ meter deep and up to 25 meters long in heavily wooded area.
