USGS CAROLINA TIN-LITHIUM BELT Rare Vintage 1942 Report NC SC With ALL MAPS!

Description

RARE ITEM!! MINERAL COLLECTOR'S FAVORITE!!
This is USGS Bulletin 936-J, "
The Tin-Spodumene Belt of the Carolinas, a Preliminary Report
." Published in 1942, there can't be many of these around. The publication consists of a 25-page book and ALL FOUR OF THE ORIGINAL MAPS, two of which are bound into the book, and three of which are in a pocket in the back, plus a large folded table of information on localities. The pocket maps are shown. One map is a regional map showing the locations of many prospects and mines. Also included in the pocket is a very large table detailing information about the sixty sites shown on one of the maps. The entire publication is in great condition, with only slight fading of parts of the cover.
This interesting book discusses the Atlas prospect shaft that, to my knowledge, later evolved into the famous Foote Lithium Mine, source of so many rare minerals. This book would make a great guide for prospecting this large mineralized area. Here is a list of the minerals found at the Foote Lithium mine, just one of the mines in this area (courtesy of Mindat.org; Not all minerals listed in the text):

All in all, a rare and desirable geologic publication on an interesting and historic mining area. Of interest to to mineral collectors and historians.
Expert packing assured. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordable.
