| kmt SELENITE, Grace Mine, Morgantown, Berks County, Pennsylvania, 9 x 8 x 7 cm, Cabinet | |
 | Grace Mine was operated by Bethlehem Steel Company back in the 1960's and the 1970's for Iron. Low Japanese steel prices eventually closed the mine and it was sealed. The land has since been sold to investors whom have partially developed the land with a trash incinerator to burn Philadelphia's trash. It is located right off the Pennsylvania turnpike for easy access. I was able to pick up a small suite of 6 large handsize examples of some of the minerals from this Pennsylvania location that once produced Iron. This specimen is translucent to transparent platy Selenite. |
