During 1969 – 1971, a Rt. 101 bypass was constructed around the town centers of Amherst and Milford, NH. A major intersection with Rt. 101A at the Amherst-Milford boarder required the blasting of much ledge. Mineral wise, this was a large outcrop of boring biotite gneiss. I moved to Amherst in 1971, and rekindled my childhood interest in minerals in 1974. In the summer of 1997, Bob Whitmore showed me a 1 cm stilbite spray from this 101 – 101A road cut. Exploring the cut, I found nothing in the road cut ledge, but did find some nice chabazite and hematite in a blasted ledge at the end of an adjacent building parking lot. I invited Scott Whittemore to this site on a re-visit. On a later date, Scott did a careful inspection of the road cut ledges. He found many more species. Subsequent visits by Scott, Bob Janules and myself built a substantial suite of minerals from this locality.
The access ramps for this intersection were widened in the spring of 2019, but no collectable minerals were found from the new blasting.
This locality demonstrates that what appeared to be an uninteresting ledge area, upon close examination, yielded a large selection of mineral species.

Notes: Augite chemistry: (Ca,Mg,Fe)2Si2O6
A Bill Simmons' article on pyroxene in Brittanica.com states:
"The nature of aluminum substitution in pyroxenes varies significantly from one pyroxene to another.... ...In augite there can be extensive substitution of aluminum for tetrahedral silicon."
A polished grain EDS analysis (BC241) of this specimen gave:
(Ca0.45,K0.04,Mg0.37,Fe0.41)(Si1.5,Al0.5)O2.2 normalized for Si + Al = 2.

Notes: These dark crystals from the Rt. 101 - 101A locality were initially thought to be allanite, but EDS analysis showed the rare earth element (REE) was too low to be allanite. They are REE enriched epidote.
Epidote chemistry is: Ca2Al2(Fe3+,Al)Si3O12(OH) , Fleischer 2008
Allanite-(Ce) chemistry is: CaCeFe2+Al2(Si2O7)(SiO4)O(OH) , Fleischer 2008
