| 7hlkmts ((CORUNDUM with ILMENITE)), $15 MINIMUM BID, Shimersville, Upper Milforn Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, 3 x 2.5 x 2.5 cm, Miniature | |
 | Here is an uncommon but classic Pennsylvania specimen. There was an old Corundum mine which is now evidently a housing development. There are only three photos shown on mindat. Also some specimens have been found in the farm fields near Shimersville. I was told these blue grey Corundum crystals are quite uncommon. It is not very attractive and with a loop it is easy to see the many small black Ilmenite crystals attached to the sides of the crytal and reportedly occur as inclusions in the Corundum. |
