The article relates the authors' experience on visiting old-lime quarries in the eastern part of Massachusetts. They found mineral deposits called Dolomite or magnesian Carbonate of Lime. They discovered some granules of a semi-transparent green mineral scattered in the limestone at the Chelmsford quarries. They were fascinated with the lilac-colored masses of rock lying on the ground.
