In 1991, the Zinc Corporation of America’s (ZCA) mining operation to recover sphalerite from the stratabound Fowler orebody near Balmat in St. Lawrence County, New York, encountered an altered area of unusual mineralogy. Magnetite crystals occurred either lining halite-filled veins, along with anhydrite, sphalerite, and calcite, or frozen in a matrix of halite and talc together with pods of zoned
massive sulfides. The magnetite crystals have unusual morphology and may well rank among the finest examples of the species yet found.
