  • A Specific Gravity Index for Minerats
    A SPECIFICGRAVITY INDEX FOR MINERATS c. A. MURSKyI ern R. M. THOMPSON, Un'fuersityof Bri.ti,sh Col,umb,in,Voncouver, Canad,a This work was undertaken in order to provide a practical, and as far as possible,a complete list of specific gravities of minerals. An accurate speciflc cravity determination can usually be made quickly and this information when combined with other physical properties commonly leads to rapid mineral identification. Early complete but now outdated specific gravity lists are those of Miers given in his mineralogy textbook (1902),and Spencer(M,i,n. Mag.,2!, pp. 382-865,I}ZZ). A more recent list by Hurlbut (Dana's Manuatr of M,i,neral,ogy,LgE2) is incomplete and others are limited to rock forming minerals,Trdger (Tabel,l,enntr-optischen Best'i,mmungd,er geste,i,nsb.ildend,en M,ineral,e, 1952) and Morey (Encycto- ped,iaof Cherni,cal,Technol,ogy, Vol. 12, 19b4). In his mineral identification tables, smith (rd,entifi,cati,onand. qual,itatioe cherai,cal,anal,ys'i,s of mineral,s,second edition, New york, 19bB) groups minerals on the basis of specificgravity but in each of the twelve groups the minerals are listed in order of decreasinghardness. The present work should not be regarded as an index of all known minerals as the specificgravities of many minerals are unknown or known only approximately and are omitted from the current list. The list, in order of increasing specific gravity, includes all minerals without regard to other physical properties or to chemical composition. The designation I or II after the name indicates that the mineral falls in the classesof minerals describedin Dana Systemof M'ineralogyEdition 7, volume I (Native elements, sulphides, oxides, etc.) or II (Halides, carbonates, etc.) (L944 and 1951).

  • First Annual Mineralogy Exhibit of the Franklin Kiwanis Club
    FIRST ANNUAL MINERALCGY EXHIBIT CF THE FRANKLIN KIWANIS CLUB - October 26th & 27th, 1957 This exhibit makes available for public view for the first time many of the principal private collections of the unique minerals of the Franklin-Sterling Area. These unusual ore bodies, comprising more minerals than are found anywhere else on earth, have intrigued mineralogists and collectors ever since their discovery. Dutch mining experts first explored the area in 1640. The ore bodies, whose principal metals are zinc, manganese and iron, continued to puzzle experts for the next two centuries. Mining operations were first successfully developed by The New Jersey Zinc Company, which succeeded in building a great industry from its beginnings at Franklin. The deposits at Franklin are now exhausted and its specimens have become collectors items. The 178 minerals found at Franklin-Sterling and the 29 minerals which have never been found elsewhere are listed below.

  • Fourth Annual Mineralogy Exhibit of the Franklin Kiwanis Club
    FOURTH ANNUAL MINERALOGY EXHIBIT OF THE KIWANTS CLUB Sept, 24 & 25, 1960 di„s'-)lays to the mineral nollecting public a great variety of secimens from the acted Franklin and Sterling Lill mines. Although the Franklin mine is worked out and flooded and the Sterling Hill mine is currently shut down, specimens new to the list of Franklin area minerals are being discovered at a rate never achieved in the past fifty years. Since the first Kiwanis exhibit in 1957, an upsurge of interest has resulted- in the addition of well over a dozen minerals te the list. Many specimens have been made available through sale, and the Buckwheat and Parker dumps continue to reward careful examination on the part of the collector. The visitors should not fail to see the displays at the National Guard Armory at the junction of Route 23 and 577 at the foot of the mountain, where the main mineral exhibit will be housed, the model mine opposite the open cut on Evans Street above the Buckwheat dump, and the Buckwheat Dump itself where the knowledgeable collector can find twenty different minerals in less than an hour.
