The Parrot Jasper Mine is located in the Town of Colchester about .4 of a mile west of U.S. Route 2, just south of the bridge over the Lamoille River. Take the first road west, south of the Lamoille River, to the next intersection about .2 miles to a "T" intersection. Park and follow a narrow dirt road directly opposite the "T" intersection for .2 of a mile to the Jasper Mine.

The minerals found here include jasper (much of it is good lapidary grade), hematite (specular), and small amounts of chalcopyrite, bornite, malachite, and chrysocolla.

This locality is in the Dunham Dolomite, of which some is of cutting grade; here it doesn't have as many color variations as it has at some other localities. The presence of the copper sulfides and hematite suggest that mineralization here is due to hydrothermal solutions, rich in iron and copper, replacing the dolomite with the minerals mentioned above.
