    Description

    POPULAR ITEM!!
    This is USGS Bulletin 1308,
    Geology and Placer Gold Deposits of the Jicarilla Mountains, Lincoln County, New Mexico
    . Published in 1974, there can’t be many of these around. It comes complete with the 25-page book and TH
    E ORIGINAL FULL-COLOR GEOLOGIC MAP.
    This publication documents the occurrence and mining of gold from this district. Other minerals are also found in the area, and include:
    Specular Hematite
    Pyrite
    Arsenopyrite
    Chalcopyrite
    Sphalerite
    Galena
    Magnetite
    Malachite
    Chrysocolla
    This is a very nice work on this area and would be an asset to the historian, mineral collector, or prospector. The map is clear and would give any collector lots of areas to choose from on a collecting trip. All in all this is a rare publication on an interesting and historic area that probably has some gold left to offer!
    Expert packing assured. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordable.
