Re: Collection of Michael Shaw

Thanks for your comments Jamison. The Henson Mine is in Pope County about 8 miles NW of Rosiclare. Because it is a vein deposit, there were very few cavities and not many mineral specimens were collected. Fluorites from the Kentucky side of the district are not commonly seen at shows, in spite of there being more mines on the Kentucky side. I think this is partly due to the fact that the Denton, Annabel Lee, and Minerva mines produced such an abundance of specimens in comparison to all of the other mines.
