Mineral resource potential map of the Shining Rock Wilderness, Haywood County, North Carolina Mineral resource potential map of the Shining Rock Wilderness, Haywood County, North Carolina
The Shining Rock Wilderness is in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Haywood County, N. C., and is underlain by complexly folded, high-grade metamorphic rocks. These rocks contain a few small, subeconomic deposits of sheet muscovite mica that have a small potential for scrap mica. Quartz as a source of silica (SiO2) and gneiss and schist suitable for common building stone and crushed rock are...
