SONLY ONE AVAILABLE!! HOT ITEM WHEN I CAN GET ONE!!This is USGS Bulletin 1042-R,
Geology of the Ord Mine, Mazatzal Mountains Quicksilver District, Arizona.
Published in 1958, there can’t be many of these around. This publication consists of the 14-page book and all three of the original maps. The map of the area clearly shows the locations of all the surface workings, shafts and pits. The two other maps are of the underground workings. Very cool!
This is an interesting area with geology that is different from the typical hot springs type of mercury deposit. This site actually has native mercury, which is a pretty rare thing, and a bunch of other minerals as well. Look at this list, drawn straight from this publication:
Barite
Chalcocite
Chalcopyrite
Cinnabar
Hematite
'Limonite'
Mercury
Pyrite
'Sericite'
Siderite var: Magnesian Siderite
Tennantite var: Mercurian Tennantite
This area is not very far from a road and would probably not be hard to reach to explore. All in all this is a very interesting, detailed and scarce report on a little known mine and would make a great collecting guide.
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.
