Book Description
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 new book pulls together over 200 years of mining and mineral history under one cover. It is richly illustrated with 574 figures -- old and new photographs, old maps, mine cross sections, crystal drawings, and mineral photographs. Many of the old photographs have never been published before. The Mines and Minerals of Chester County, Pennsylvania describes over 400 mines and mineral localities. It includes the known history of each mine and locality and a list of reported minerals. The locations are shown on a set of USGS topographic maps. Because many of the mines had several names over the course of their history, a comprehensive cross-index is provided. Also included is an index of all minerals reported from Chester County with their localites.

Book Description
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. The first printing of The Mines and Minerals of Chester County, produced by the traditional printing method, rapidly sold out. To make the book available again, a second printing was produced using "print on demand" technology. 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. This full-color publication makes available those photographs, as well as many others. It features 287 full-color photographs of the beautiful minerals of Chester County.
