There is "redstone" along I-91 in Greenfield, MA area.  It is quite soft
and crumbly.  Also must be some in the Champlain valley as Univ VT has/had
it's lovely Redstone Campus.  I haven't been up that way for many years so
I don't know  if they still have it or if they sold/demolished it.  What
made redstone anyway?  Ruth
