Explore the world of fluorspar in the Kentucky-Illinois district. This detailed study reveals how ore-bearing veins and blanket deposits formed, and why this region became a major global source of fluorspar.
This volume traces the Illinois portion of a important mining district, focusing on Rosiclare and Cave in Rock, and placing Illinois fluorspar in a broader regional context. Readers will find historical development, geological origin, mine data, and practical insights on how deposits were explored, mined, and processed.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In the western portion of Illinois and the eastern portion of nearby Kentucky exists the Kentucky-Illinois fluorspar district, one of the most important regions for fluorspar production in the world. The primary source of fluorspar within the district is from steep, sheet-like deposits called veins, which have been the result of mineral deposition along steeply inclined fault planes and fracture zones. The author presents a wealth of information on the mineral composition and characteristics of these veins, discussing the contentious topic of vein formation, presenting evidence and hypotheses on the relative importance of fracture-filling and replacement processes. The work provides geological insight into the history and processes of fluorspar deposits in the district, presenting a comprehensive overview of the geology of the region and the nature of the vein deposits.
