    Description

    SCARCE ITEM!!
    This is USGS Bulletin 940-H, “
    Manganese Deposits of the Flat Top and Round Mountain Districts, Bland and Giles Counties, Virginia
    .” Published in 1943, there can't be many of these around. The publication consists of a 27-page book and ALL FIVE OF THE ORIGINAL GEOLOGIC MAPS, which are all in a pocket in the back of the book. This area offers such minerals as psilomelane, manganite, and pyrolusite. Among the deposits described in this publication are:
    Suiter mines
    Round Mountain mine
    Fire Tower prospect
    Bastian prospect
    Shott prospect
    Donahue prospect
    Nye Cove prospect
    Stange and Arms mines
    Dismal Creek mine
    Silver Creek mine
    Morris prospect
    Wyrick prospect
    Johnson prospect
    And others!
    A little research on Mindat.org showed that wavellite is also known from Flat Top mountain. Who knows what other minerals have been overlooked in these mines! Sounds like an interesting area!
    This is a scarce publication on an important and productive historic mining district, and this report ust might lead you to some cool minerals!
    Expert packing assured.
