| From "https://www.pennminerals.com/collecting", it says: "ROSSVILLE ROAD CUT -
about 1 mile north of Rossville, which is about 15 miles north of York
on Rt. 74 - found in 1974 as part of a road expansion, azurite and
malachite coatings on the hornfels have been a favorite to many
collectors. To obtain these specimens some heavy hammering is now
required as the "excavation" is now about 3 feet back into the road
cut. Surprisingly, opal hyalite is found on some the hornfels, only
seen under black light appearing as a pale green color. At the southern
portion of this road cut micro-sized heulandite, stilbite and chabazite
crystals can be found. " | "about 1 mile north of Rossville, which is about 15 miles north of York
on Rt. 74 - found in 1974 as part of a road expansion" I put the GPS marker near a roadcut on the route, but don't know if it is the correct spot. |
