Richardson described it as a "fine granite, composed of quartz, feldspar, and mica. The mica is both muscovite and biotite."[1] It intrudes into the Waits River Formation.[2]
The granite is mined at the E. L. Smith Quarry, owned by the Rock of Ages Corporation. "Barre Gray" granite is sought after worldwide for its fine grain, even texture, and superior weather resistance. Many sculpture artists prefer it for outdoor sculpture.[3] Sculptor Frank Gaylord used it for the United States Korean War Memorial at the United Nations Memorial Cemetery, Busan, South Korea.[4][5][6] References1. ^1 Richardson, C.H., 1902, The terranes of Orange County, Vermont: Vermont State Geologist Report, no. 3, pp. 61–101.
