[Rockhounds] Terlingua calcite

[pmodreski at aol.com]

Dear List,

Here's the?comment that Earl Verbeek tried to post to the List earlier today, but couldn't get recognized by the Listserv.---Pete




I've had two people tell me that the source of the "real" Terlingua calcite, the blue-fl. SW and pink-fl. LW material, was the Little 38 mine (hope I got the name right), and ONLY that one mine.? Both of them were there and collected the fl. calcite from the dumps of this mine (one when some of the dump material apparently was reprocessed as road aggregate), so they have some firsthand knowledge.? Just passing it on FWIW.

?

A somewhat similar problem concerns the "Terlingua-type" calcite from San Saba, Texas.? Is that San Saba the city, or somewhere in San Saba County?? I've never seen the locality given to any useful degree of specificity.? Anyone out there know where this stuff comes from?

?

????????????? Cheers-??? Earl?? (at?? everbeek at ptd.net?? )
