The Dolomite Products Quarry in Walworth, New York, is an active industrial crushed-stone operation working in hard Silurian dolostone formations containing fossilized stromatolites. While primarily functioning as a commercial aggregate quarry, it has achieved legendary status among mineral collectors through occasional organized open house events. Collectors prize the site for its exceptionally transparent, water-clear blue fluorite crystals and golden sphalerite specimens found growing within vugs and cavities of the tough host rock.
