Marble of many varieties and of excellent quality Is foundin the Southwest and Champlain valleys from EquinoxMountain to Canada line. Extensive quarries are workedon Eolus Mountain In Dorset, beside the Castleton Riverat West Rutland, in the Otter Creek Valley in Rutland,Proctor, Pittsford, Brandon, Middlebury and a few othertowns.

But in various forms granite is found on the easternside of the main mountain range from Derby to Metals axd Minerals 65 No State produces granite for building and monumentalwork of such fine quality or in such large quantities as Ver-mont. No red granite is found in the State, but the shadesrun from the white Bethel to the dark green syenite ofWindsor.
