Description
This interesting large miniature specimen from David Hardman's collection features several nicely formed, tapering blue-grey crystals of Corundum within Mica-Feldspar matrix. It is labelled as the Spruce Pine Mining District, in North Carolina, which spans at least three counties. Corundum is well-known from this area, and was formerly mined in several places in North Carolina, but we have been unable to pin it down to a more specific locality. Someone with local knowledge will likely know better.
Known provenanceKnowing where your specimen comes from and who owned it adds to its story and value. Good provenance helps prove it's authentic and preserves important details about its discovery.
