Chastains Creek. — See above, under Caney Fork. 
Chunky Gal Mountains. — Corundum lias been found in the bands 
of quartz-schists and gneiss of which the Chunky Gal Mountains are 
composed. Garnet is associated with the corundum, which forms a 
very small percentage of the rock. This occurrence is described on 
page 34. 
Collins mine. — Pink corundum in cyanite occurs at this mine near 
Statesville, Iredell County. 
Corundum Hill mine. — The corundum at this mine occurs in a 
peridotite. (See p. 55. ) 
Cowee Valley. — Ruby and red corundum are found in the alluvial 
deposits of this valley, many of which are transparent. (See descrip- 
tion of ruby mine, pp. 40-44.) 
Coweeta. — Pink corundum is found in a greenish cyanite at this 
place, in Macon County. 
Cullakeenee mine. — Same as the Buck Creek mine.

Democrat. — Corundum has been found, sparingly associated with 
the peridotite rocks, a little to the south of this place, in Buncombe

Elf. — Beautiful specimens of pink corundum are found in the green 
amphibolite. Occasionally there are blue pieces in this rock. 
Egypt mine. — This mine is located in Yancey County, 10 miles west 
of Burnsville, and the corundum is in a peridotite. It is in crystal- 
line masses and distinct crystals of a white color, often mottled with 
blue. This occurrence is interesting as being the only one where 
corundum has been found surrounded directly by dunite. 
Ellijay Creek. — Corundum has been found at many points in the 
valley of this creek, associated with peridotite rocks. The more 
important of these are the Mincey, Haskett, and Higdon mines. 
Eairview mine. — At this mine emery occurs in basic magnesian 
rocks. (See p. 72.)

slope of this mountain, on Hickory Knoll Creek, in Macon County, 
corundum has been found sparingly in a small outcrop of dunite. 
Foster mine. — Near the summit of Chunky Gal Mountains, near the 
headwaters of the northern fork of Shooting Creek, in Clay County, 
corundum occurs in peridotite. (See p. 60.) 
Gaston County. — Blue corundum, associated with mica and quartz, 
has been found at Chubbs, Chrowders, and Kings mountains in this 
county. Emery also has been found at Chrowders Mountain. 
Glenville. — Four miles north of this town, in Macon County, corun- 
dum occurs in chlorite-schist similar to that on Caney Fork. 
Gray property. — Corundum in peridotite. (See p. 58.)
