Isaac Noyes was interested in this pegmatite in the late 1880's. In 1892 the ledge was opened for the first time and in time, it has become a mecca for scientists and collectors alike, deserving the title of one of the most complex mineralized pegmatites in Maine. Tourmaline was first recorded from the locale about 1904 and over the years the green color found at this location has become known as "Harvard Green". It is still being mined today by our own Frank Perham.
