| At present, we are emphasizing four
activities: |
| |
|
1: Carolinas and Georgia:
Seeking contacts.
|
|
Historical research in local libraries and through conversation; |
|
Looking for corundum sites and representative material, mapping and
rockhounding; |
|
Looking at private and museum collections; and |
|
Specimen acquisition, photographic images. |
| |
|
2: Himalayan Corundum Deposits:
New Discoveries |
|
We are collaborating in research and publication of the latest information
about the corundum deposits in the Himalayas and neighboring mountains; from
Afghanistan to Nepal. New discoveries in the Taplejung District of
Nepal and in the vicinity of the classic Kashmir sapphire deposits show
interesting potential; and of particular interest is anything whatsoever
about corundum deposits geographically between these localities.. |

3:
Specimen acquisitions: Greenland, Scotland, Northeastern
U.S., Georgia (U.S.), et al. |

Also: Technical, historical articles, site
