DESCRIPTION:
An excellent book. An excellent reference for mineralogists, amateur mineral collector or anyone interested in the mining history of Pennsylvania and Chester County.
The first printing of The Mines and Minerals of Chester County, produced by the traditional printing method, rapidly sold out. It features 287 full-color photographs of the beautiful minerals of Chester County.. However, this technology could not mix gray-scale and color within the file-size limit; therefore, the color insert of mineral photographs included in the first printing was not part of the second printing. Chester County is the home of many famous and world-class mineral localities -- the Wheatley Mine, French Creek Mine, Brinton's Quarry, Poorhouse Quarry, Unionville corundum mines, Cornog Quarry, Beryl Hill, and the Parksburg rutile area -- to name just a few. This full-color publication makes available those photographs, as well as many others. To make the book available again, a second printing was produced using “print on demand” technology
