Granite pegmatite. Brunswick pegmatite field.
The Railroad Quarry was located on the northeast side of the railroad tracks where they are crossed by Route 295 and between the two lanes. It is uncertain if any dump material remains at the marked site, although it has not been checked in recent times. The locality was known for exceptional chrysoberyl crystals.
