    Description

    This is USGS Professional Paper 248-E,
    Mica Deposits of the Southeastern Piedmont, Parts 7 and 8, Hartwell District, South Carolina and Georgia, and Outlying Deposits in South Carolina
    . Published in 1953, there can't be many of these around! This is Volume 5 of a seven-volume series. I am currently offering some of the other volumes of this set in my store.
    This volume contains Parts 7 and 8 under one cover. It consists of the 33-page book and both of the original maps, all in excellent condition. Looking for blue green Beryl in South Carolina? You'll find out where it is! One of the sites is even said to have beryl with color approaching that of emerald! One of the maps is an index map with 32 locations pinpointed by name. The other map is a detailed map of the workings at the Bannister Mine in Hart county, Georgia, one of the mines that contains tourmaline. Mines in Abbeville, Anderson, Cherokee, Spartanburg, Greenville, Pickens, and Oconee Counties, South Carolina, and Elbert and Hart Counties, Georgia are discussed. Here are some of the mines described within:
