Berry-Havey
Q.
http://www.mindat.org/loc-3802.html
Granite pegmatite. Oxford
Field. The
Berry Quarry (south side) and
Havey Quarry (north side) are in the same pegmatite and excavations
have overlapped. The name of the united excavation is the Berry-Havey
Quarry. The southern part of the pegmatite was operated by Forrest
Havey, at least by 1909, while the northern portion was operated by A.
R. Berry, beginning in 1900, who owned the farm.
This locality is the "type"
location
for the variety "watermelon
tourmaline" and that name first appeared in print by George Howe in
August, 1910. The name first received international circulation in 1911
(Sterrett, Douglas Bouvard {1911} Gems and Precious Stones, Mineral
Resources of the United States, Calender Year 1909, Part II Nonmetals,
U. S. Geological Survey, p. 778).
As of 2014 was being operated
commercially by Jeff Morrison for gemstone and mineral specimen
production.
