8hljdrs ((SYNTHETIC ZINCITE)), $15 MINIMUM BID, West Plant, New Jersey Zince Smelter, Palmerton, Pennsylvania, 6.5 x 4 x 4 cm, Miniature | |
Mounted in a plastic miniature box, This is an aethetic specimen of Zincite, zinc oxide, not from Poland, but from the much scarcer specimen from the Zinc Smelter that used to be in Palmerton, Pennsylvania. Due to the more efficient Zinc Smelters these Zincite specimens from Poland or Pennsylvania will never be a byproduct of Zinc refining again. Most of the Quantities of the Poland specimens are in collections and no longer available like 10 to 15 years ago. These were from an old accumulation I found in PA a few years ago. |
