Curious lock
Deposit Found
Only In Davie ,
FORK, FEB. 3 Back in
1904, a tiny piece of Davie
County won a prize at the big
Louisiana Purchase Exposition
in St Louig, Mo.
That little piece of Davie
was nothing tout a rock a
well-shined little rock taken
from a deposit on Cooleemee
Plantation.
But geologists who have ev
amined the deposit and the
judges who awarded a silver
medal to the sample on display
at the St. Louis Exposition
knew it was something more
than iust another spotted rock
formation.
inis curious deposit, geo
logists have said, has never
been found anywhere else in
the world, o far as they know.:
Nearest thing to it, they say,
is a deposit found in Norway
some years ago.
The Cooleemee Plantation
rock, found in large boulders
in a field, is as tough as its
tongue - twisting name orbia-
cular grabbro diorite.
It cannot be broken; it has
to be sawed by special appra
tus. For this reason, it has
never been mined extensively.
Very little of it "is known to
be in-Hse.-
' Two gate posts and kitchen
steps at the plantation house
are made of this rof k.
It also ia used as trim for
window sills and as the top
steps on attractive old Fulton
ME church South, between
Fork and Advance.
At f ir9t glance, the rock app
ears to be black and white.
Actually ,it is, . white and
very dark green.
