You could also check out [Stony Creek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stony_Creek_(Branford%29). You know the pink granite making up the base of the Statue of Liberty? It came from there.

It is a working quarry so you probably could not find a big piece to take home, but maybe there's a small one somewhere. It's worth seeing at the very least if you're the least bit interested in rocks.
