The Lime Crest
and Franklin (or
"Farber") quarries of Sussex County contain a surprisingly
large number of mineral species for the collector who participates in
FOMS /
EFMLS trips.
Update:
Now that a selfish but very vocal minority succeeded in getting the
Lime Crest Quarry to close, there isn't much use in listing "minerals
you can still find" there. The wonderful minerals of Lime Crest
are all under water now.
<>Anyway, to reduce loading time I split the mineral list in two.
There are so many minerals
that occur in the impure marbles of Franklin, Ogdensburg, Sparta,
Hamburg,
McAfee, etc... there are still minerals I haven't added to the
list. Lime Crest was by far the biggest and best marble quarry in
the region, but sadly it's gone.
