Description: SCARCE VINTAGE REPORT WITH MAPS!! GREAT MINERAL COLLECTING!!This is USGS Professional Paper 248-C, Mica deposits of the southeastern Piedmont: Parts 3 and 4, Ridgeway-Sandy Ridge District, Virginia, and North Carolina; and Outlying deposits in Virginia. Published in 1953, there can't be many of these around. This is Volume 3 of a seven-volume series. I am currently offering some of the other volumes of this set in my store. Volume 3 contains Parts 3 and 4 under one cover. It consists of a 62-page book and all eleven of the original maps, all in excellent condition. Some of the maps are of specific mine workings. Some of the mines covered include:Herbb #1 and #2 minesDeShazo mineColeman mineRosa Evans mineHawkins mineHole mineMonteiro-Amber Queen mineWhite Peak minesWheatley mineCenter Ridge minePrice mineEanes #2 and Garrett minesLong Tom Smith and Short Tom Smith minesAND MANY, MANY MORE MINES. This is just a sampling, as I am not going to type every mine listed here! The large index map of mines in Virginia shows the locations of 85 mines that are not already covered in the Ridgeway-Sandy Ridge district (excluding those in the Amelia district which are covered in a separate report - see my other listings for that one). A long list of minerals can be found at the mines described here. Some of the more interesting ones include: ThuliteBerylColumbite-tantaliteTourmalineSpessartiteUraniniteUranophaneAutuniteCleavlanditeAnd others! In addition, an area is mentioned that has kyanite and rutile. It says "Rutile crystals that weigh as much as a pound also are present." Find out where these hot potatoes can be found!This is an exceptionally rare and desirable publication, and it is complete and in excellent condition. Damage is limited to minor crinkling around the corners of the book. The maps are in perfect condition. Given its age, the condition is astounding!Shipping weight is 13 ounces.
