Sep 14, 2015 (A Wilson) - The property is part of the Westport Pluton. The rock is pinkish-brown, massive monzonite. The Westport Pluton consists predominantly of pegmatite with very little granite. The rocks that are granitic appear to be aplites or granites with large biotite crystals that would pluck out upon polishing. The building stone potential of this site is further limited by the presence of intense regular and irregular joint patterns and hematite staining.
