		Cumberlandite was formed over 1.5 Billion years ago when a small volcano erupted and 24 different minerals mixed together with molten rock and when it cooled formed a slightly magnetic rock that is iron rich.
		It is classed as a variety of ferrogubbro and is a porphyritic igneous rock composed of crystals white plagioclase feldspar in a finer-grained groundmass of magnetite, ilmenite, and olivine that was “stewed in its own juices”.
		Cumberlandite was also used as early as 1703 for cannons, weapons and farm tools during the Revolutionary War when it was recognized as a possible ore of iron.

		This occurs because a location in Cumberland, RI called Iron Mine Hill has a deposit of unique iron ore. The composition of this ore, Cumberlandite, is different from any other iron in the world, so it can be easily recognized and identified.
		We find broken pieces of cumberlandite in a train reaching from Iron Mine Hill down into the Atlantic Ocean at the southern end of Narragansett Bay.
		The mud deposited in the bottom of ponds and lakes is often formed in layers, formed annually during the different seasons of the year, very similar to the way circular yearly rings are formed in the wood of the trunk of trees.
